Changes Ahead

 Yesterday afternoon in an effort to make my purse lighter, I changed the projects in my purse out.  My current project was was almost 400 grams or 14 ounces and growing. Think making a shawl. I changed it out for 10 ounces which will shrink once I finish the scarf.  The scarf pattern will be finished soon, once I have the energy. This is the third time that I am making this pattern.  I really love the ease and look.  

The next change is dealing with health matters in a reasonable way.  I have been dealing with the same health issues for 17 months.  With 17 more months of treatment currently planned.  I do have a hard time walking long distances without resting.  So I have applied for a new license plate for my car.  With the personal caveat that on good body days, I will park near the back of the parking lot and on bad body days will use it to park in the front of the lot.  This way I can gain back a little more independence.  Hopefully this will allow me to look and feel a little less haggered after doing just a few errands.  

Of course I am spending a few minutes each day organizing y knitting room.  I can get a lot done in 5 or 10. I utes of work. This way things don’t feel so overwhelming.  

Pictures Taken

 

I have finally gotten around to taking pictures. In the above picture, there is one handwoven scarf, One crocheted scarf, and four knitted scarves. Also included our two of the three mud rugs that I have recently finished. They are now all logged in to ravelry so I have completed 16 out of 24 anticipated projects this year for 67% completed so far this year. They are all being put in the appropriate bags to leave the house.

I have had a lot of health issues this year, so I have not been doing much Crafting. I have mostly been resting this year, however, as I start to feel better, I’m starting to get things done and I’m going after my WIP’s So I can have a sense of accomplishment. I continue to empty the WIP basket. So this is a good start and as I get as I feel better, I’m hoping to accomplish more. 

All the above projects were stashed dive projects. So no new yarn was bought to complete them. Although  I still seem to be losing the stash war..

I still have good days and bad days. So some days, I don’t accomplish anything at all.

I hope everybody has a good holiday season and enjoy your friends and family.

*WIP is works in progress.  

Recovery Might Be Possible

 I felt better today than since the middle of February when this whole thing started. I still kept things easy and took a nap.  I am going to bed early too.
