still sore at times. The Imaging company sent me a link to my scans - blackish shapes on blackish background, oooohhh! I'll see my Dr next week to get her eagle-eyed diagnosis.

I went to Craft group today, first time in a month! Sewing is easy, but I did more chatting & catching up than work. I undid what I sewed as it hadn't worked & started again when I got home. I've recently been turning beautiful teatowels (dishcloths) into wall hangings & the hanging sleeve was in the wrong place.

Last week I discovered I couldn't knit & had to ask a friend to finish something off for me. I make coathanger covers (12 stitches, plain knitting shoulder width) for a friend who volunteers in a hospital shop. Why should patients take home dying flowers if they can take home a handknit or something handsewn?

I started covering coathangers in the 90s & making them for the hospital shop when I met her in 2006 after I retired. Last month I sat at my folk club & COULDN'T KNIT!!!! I'm not the only knitter, but Cathy makes socks for friends or fancy stuff for her granddaughters (she doesn't need to look at what she is doing, unlike me!) & I just sat & listened & took photos.

Most of the time my hand is ok, but occasionally I knock it (usually ouch, rather than agony) but it can get sore when I clench or move it.
