Getting Better

Almost a week later and I’m feeling a bit better. The aches and pains haven’t completely gone but I’m feeling as though I’m on the mend. At least I can drink from a mug now and not through a straw as I was doing  last week.

I’m next seeing the doctor on Tuesday and should get the results fo my blood tests then. Hopefully they’ll shed some light on what’s happened to me. Thanks again for the comments both here and on the KnitCast Blog. I’m going to have a go at editing the latest edition tomorrow and with luck it might be ready to post on Monday.

And  I have picked up the needles a little. I read Lynn’s comment about knitting helping with the healing process and thought that it made a lot of sense. Knitting does help keep me sane so I’ve made a pair of Fuzzy Feet. Here’s one of them before felting.

Bright isn’t it! 🙂 It’s made from Colinette Skye in Rio.

I have since felted them but haven’t taken an after shot yet. They look ok but I seem to have mixed results felting Skye. The problem is that here in the UK we have front loading washing machines. As a result you can’t check on how an item is felting during the wash, you just have sling it in and hope for the best. When I made my two Stitch Diva Page Boy Hats, I hand felted the brims. I think I may have to do that with the next pair of Fuzzy Feet I make.

We’ve apparently had some very warm weather here but being shut in the house I haven’t been able to appreciate it. In fact it can get a little cold in the living room so I’m looking forward to wearing the slippers. Pictures of the finished items soon!
