Well today started off like many others. I woke up. Heard the door bell so go downstairs, nearly killing myself on the process, to answer the door to the postman. A parcel came for me. I don’t know about you but whenever I get a delivery I always happy but curious. I want to know what’s in it even if I’ve ordered it. Small things eh?

So in the parcel was MS stuff, some thank you cards and some ‘I need help’ cards. Not really that exciting when you think about it. They did come a hell of a lot quicker than I thought they would though. So I trudge back up stairs to sit in my cold comfy room to listen to an audio book on Norse Mythology and do some knitting. I was convinced I heard the doorbell millions of time this morning. It only rang twice. The first was the postman, the second time it was a delivery driver.

This time was a large parcel. When it arrived I knew exactly what it was. More MS stuff. 125 pens and 125 pin badges. It was discussed at the last group meeting that we would give something to each person that goes to the Christmas Party. Just a wee bit early but got them now then there wasn’t a mad rush to sort things out later in the year. So as a team we have the gifts but we just need to organise the rest of it now. We’ll get it sorted though.

As for other things for today was a bit more knitting and a bit more of the audio book. At the moment I’m going through different stitch combinations to make different patterns in the finished piece. It’s only strips so going to do them as bookmarks. It’s giving me practice though, so from that all is good. I’ve had to stop bunting/pennants/flag things as the group now has enough of them to decorate the room.

Now project wise I’m trying to decide what to take on holiday with me. I got some bits to make a unicorn with the other day. The pattern is for DK yarn but doing it with chunky yarn so it will just come out bigger. I might do that while away. I need some other knitting/crochet things to do though. I like having a few things on the go at once. That way if I get bored of one thing I can swap to something else. I’m thinking lots of doilies for crochet, knitting wise I’m thinking about one of the first knitting projects I attempted. It never got done or completed so I think I may dig the bits out for that and try again. It may well be worth a second go. Now I’m more confident with knitting it may not get binned and given up on. Could be wrong though. It may or may not happen just have to wait and see.

This evening I have just felt weird. The only way I can explain it and I know this is wrong to say but ant think of any other way. I feel more spazzy. My hands are jerking about and I can’t seem to concentrate on things. It’s like brain fog but it’s in my body as well as my head.

Anyway, I got to meet someone new, it’s someone I’ve been talking to for a bit on Facebook. God knows what he thinks of me and the group but still I feel I helped. That’s what it’s all about, helping people. I like helping people, it makes me feel good.

What else has been going on? Well I said new stitch combinations earlier. I made a cabled stitch book mark the other day. I decided to make a flower to go at the top of it. I regret picking the flower I did. It seemed to take forever to do, it looks good but my god did it take a while.

Here you go, have a look and see what you think:

that’s the one with the flower.

Another one I did I decided to crochet a border round it a basket weave stitch:

The one I’m doing at the moment has a nice diamond pattern in it. I think it looks cool:

That’s it from me at the moment.

Love and Light.
