I've been a bit more active this week as the joints in my legs and feet have calmed down and managed to met up with quite a few members of blogland - pity I forgot my camera on every occasion!
Monday, after the osteopath, I met up with Dawn.
Tuesday, I managed to knit 15 rows on my Di Gilpin jacket
Wednesday, I managed to go to the Putney knitting group and met up with Jill and Nickerjac I was out of home for about 5 hours and felt totally shattered on my return. I had a "short nap" of 5 hours and woke up when Matt got home.
Thursday afternoon I met up with Daisychains in John Lewis, it was good to have a chat with her as it was far too hectic to talk when I met her at Harrogate. A few small purchases were made of more Rowan Scottish tweed and then I went on to Liberty's where I met up with the group including Pink Hebe, Polly and Amelia. An interesting night as for the first time in ages we had male knitters - 3 of them! Photo on Pink Hebe's blog. Total Knitting 4 rows of the Di Gilpin jacket.
On Friday morning I was beginning to feel more like my old self so decided to head off to Sandown Park to spend the afternoon at the show with my friends from Silkwood, Taj and to remember to give Nickerjac her xmas present. I enjoyed about an hour's quiet chat and then began to feel (and look) totally wiped out so headed home after making a few small purchases, none of which will get shown as they are to be gifts! By the time I got home I was out for the count and slept most of the evening. Total knitting = 15 rows
Saturday I slept! When I was awake I hurt - the only redeeming feature of the entire day was the delivery of my last xmas gift - the Icelandic Shawls book (with English translation) by Sigridur Halldorsdottir. Total knitting = 0
Posted by Yvonne at January 15, 2006 12:45 AMSorry to hear that you've not been well but glad that you're improving. Hope you're feeling your old self again soon.
Posted by: Hazel at January 17, 2006 08:43 PMIt's good to hear that you are feeling better. I hope you just keep getting better.
I've been stalking you through your archives, to get a better idea of how to spoil you. You are such an experienced knitter! I'm loving your stuff!
So, I'm off to keep looking. And thinking. And plotting.
Pally.
Posted by: Pally at January 16, 2006 03:07 PMYvonne, I'm so glad you feel better but don't overdo it. Having said that, it is so boring being sick that it is hard not to, as you feel better.
Posted by: Linda at January 16, 2006 10:49 AMGlad you're up and about again. I think you're at least halfway to being better if you are up and mobile.
