  • Scary times for Oakley the owl!

    Well, what to talk about? I think these are becoming regular themes on here. Knitting and fear. I think these things are taking over my life at the moment. I’m in the process of knitting a Christmas present. It’s still in bits at the moment but it’s starting to look good retry good even if…

  • Sleep, crochet and learning stuff.

    Well for the past couple of days sleep hasn’t been my friend. I’ve not been sleeping well or getting much sleep at all. I’ve seen 6am from the wrong side a few times. It’s been pants. I’ve been watching films, doing crochet, some knitting and playing with my crystals. I’ve been to see a sleep…

  • Fear and shock

    Well it’s been an interesting couple of days. To start of with my mum is now learning to knit. That’s a bit of a shock in its self. For the past couple of days I’ve been struggling. Pain, it isn’t great and it’s been so intense. I’ve not really been able to ignore it or…

  • I don’t believe you!

    It’s crap when you aren’t believed. But that’s what I’m facing at the moment. You may or may not know that I had an appointment with the neurologist last week. I think I mentioned it on here but I can’t remember. Had the appointment last week. Ended up going in my wheelchair. Let just say…

  • Is silence golden?

    Why is anxiety such a bastard? Been feeling off for over a week now. It started with fireworks. I hate them and I don’t think they are safe for people, especially kids, to have. I signed a petition earlier in the week to get them banned for sale to the general public. Heres hoping that…

  • A sad day

    Well got some bad news today. The world has lost a great person. A friend I made recently is no longer here. She has passed. Her name was Marilyn. I met her through the local branch of the MS society. I helped her with technical stuff and getting documents uploaded to a website. I feel…

  • Knitting, thieves and crystals

    It feels like it’s been forever since I posted anything. That’s because I couldn’t decide on anything to write about. I’m still doing my knitting. I finished the neck tube, scarf, snood thing for my nephew. He likes it and seems to be wearing it a lot. That’s good. I started working on a beanie…

  • Time for a rant!

    There is an advert on TV at the moment and it really annoys me. “My mums not so mobile anymore so I told her to stop collecting her repeat prescription”. Don’t know if you’ve seen the advert or not but every time I see it, it winds me up. If it’s a repeat prescription it’s…

  • So long and thanks for all the fish, Knit one, purl one and 12 months.

    So been an interesting week. I’ve been learning to knit, I finished my blanket and a few other things. Today is 12 months to the day I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. It’s been an interesting year. There have been ups and down as you’d expected. Yeah be lost the ability to walk properly without…

  • Learning new things.

    Well not sure if you have or haven’t seen what I’ve been up to recently on Facebook, I’ve been learning new things this week. I’ve learnt how to finger knit. I made a scarf for my mum. She liked it. The latest thing is crochet. I’ve learned how to do. All from the powers of…
