WIPW

I have entered the "mushey brain" part of my treatment.  I am vague, tired, fatigued and not with it.

But, I only have to add the last borders, which are all pieced, to the quilt.  Heaven's knows when I will get to do this.  There is no way I can quilt it so I will have to wait till after the holidays and give it to the long arm quilter.

My right hand and wrist are still giving me trouble so I thought I would take this time to learn how to knit,  continental style.  I have been knitting, English style, for over 70 years and I have a feeling that this has contributed to my wrist problems.  For the past week I have been practicing, or should I say pulling what I do undone.  But, I have finally mastered longtail caste on.  I need more practice but I think I have got the hang of it.

And I also think I have got my head around continental style plain knit.  I will just keep knitting these samples till I am more confident.  (This is nearly 2 weeks work!!)

Then I have to attempt purl knitting.  I might make a blanket will all the samples.  I could have made a blanket out of all the samples I have pulled undone.

Yes, I love knitting.  I was really going to investigate colour work before my wrist problem.  I have Alice Starmores colour work booke, and still have all the wools from Scotland ready to knit.
