Thank you for all the kind messages. I'm pretty much 100% again now; I think circuits did me the world of good.
I really should have done housework and ironing, etc but did I? Not a chance. I got on with my knitting (Christmas gifts) and my crochet instead.
Do I feel guilty - not a chance. I'm really so enjoying being able to do my own thing in my own time and I'm making the most of it.
I'm getting on nicely with the granny square tank top - I'm going to look very seventies in it, very retro, I fear, but extra layers are always a Good Thing as winter approaches - I am so glad I have the thermal stuff from last winter's cruise as I do feel the cold but layering up works wonders.
The next part of the crochet along project goes live tomorrow but I will have to desist until the afternoon. First of all it is Groove and at 1:30, the lovely Sharon is coming to chop my locks (not that they need much more than a quick tidy up) and I really do need to sort out downstairs before she arrives.
But I still don't regret today's self indulgence, not at all. :-)
Today was kind of spendy again - my printer is saying it is short of ink and I don't have any replacements so I fired off an order which should arrive tomorrow. I want to print off some online patterns but that can wait until the inks arrive. It's not as if I have nothing on the go already!!
How was your Monday? Really good, I hope. Take care, stay warm and sleep well. xx
Any chance you could share your Xmas patterns on here?Barbaraxx
ReplyDeleteYes, certainly, as I can find them. I have googled for free things . . . :-)

I have been working on Christmas gifts and a few items our oldest son wanted for friends. I went to the dentist this morning so I may as well say it was a spendy day, as will be tomorrow as I am paying a few bills.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Urgh - dentist!! Hope it went well.
DeleteI'm making little things this year but might spread my wings a bit more next year - I'll see how I feel. I've seen some of your gifts on your blog and they are amazing. xx
I'm looking forward to seeing your crochet. I bought myself some yarn, yesterday, and I've downloaded a video of how to crochet waffle stitch. Wish me luck. Xx
ReplyDeleteIt's really very straightforward and easy to get into the swing of. Just a very satisfying stitch, I think. xx
DeleteIt's your time to spend as you please, with no-one to answer to. It's bliss!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful, isn't it. There are definitely positives to solo living. xx
DeleteI'm going to join in with The Gift of Christmas blanket as I seem to have started some RSI in the base of my thumb so want to give knitting a rest and get to grips with crochet. The yarn is on order, I had to choose alternatives for 5 of the colourways as the others are sold out, no matter, they'll work just as well. I've also decided to change the square surrounds and edges to mid grey as I'm not over fond of the cream, so ordered 1 ball of cream and 2 of the grey, hope it'll work.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to it as I watched the 1st week's video and Anita explained it all so well. In the meantime on with the Christmas present socks ....
The YouTube videos are excellent, I think. As you saym, everything is explained so very clearly and I think using your own colours is a great idea. There are lots of other free patterns and I think I am becoming addicted. :-) xx
