Out to Tatla on Thursday with me driving both ways, pretty much got a clean bill from Dr Rob. Results of latest tests, blood and everything else came back good. Other than having to prolly stay on Warfarin for the rest of my life, he thought I was OK. And then on Friday back to Tatla to take Lorelee in to catch a ride going to Williams Lake, once I got the Dr OK she decided it was time for her to go home, she had been here for one day short of a month, and I certainly know the first few weeks I couldn't have been here alone, so am grateful for her putting up with me for so long.

Am even thinking of going down to Whidbey Island the first few days of April, that of course depends on how much the excess medical is going to be, now with the blood clot history it might be prohibitive. Will check in Williams Lake when I take my inc tax stuff in early in March.

Back knitting on the wild socks for Tammy in NC, not yet able to stay with the knitting as I have in the past, first sock is done except for AT heel and down past AT heel spot on 2nd sock. Have reversed the colors on sock #2, will more or less still look like a pair because of the Hazel Knits solid main color.


Have heard from a couple of friends and a couple that read my blog as to where I was, truly just didn't have anything to write about, but now that my life is pretty much back to normal will try and do better.

    It's so great to know you are doing better! Thank God for friends like Loralee. She was very, very kind and loving to stay with you and give you the help you needed until you got the okay from Dr. Rob. The"dead yarn" thing was pretty funny. :D

    I was beginning to worry at the two week silence. So happy for all of us that you're mostly back to your former self. Always look forward to your posts that let me enjoy your life with you. Janice from Kentucky

    Bad news: on warfarin you can't have cranberries or grapefruit. Good news: warfarin is dirt cheap!

    Glad to hear you're driving independently again and your dear friend can go home! You are blessed with such kindness. Take good care, Lynne! We miss it when you aren't posting regularly.

    Good to see you're back up and blogging-knitting too. Spring will be arriving very soon. We just 'suck up' the medical expenses of travel--just part of the cost of the trip!

    So glad you are feeling better. Love the yarn/spider joke! Great to keep a sense of humor-it made my day too. Take care.

    Hello Lynn! Glad you are feeling better. I can't imagine posting while feeling crumby; I've had my body leave me in the lurch a few times (medically speaking) and it was weird - messed with my mind. Here's to an interesting spring with nice animals and pretty weathers. Take it easy while your body and mind continue to heal up. BTW I always find your posts interesting and illuminating - I'm lost in the clatter of the burbs and your life makes me think about things.

Finally got myself to town Dec. 27-28. Prescriptions, haircut, groceries, and most important getting bank Visa problems straightened out. Tried dealing with bank via telephone and both times I connected got someone that wouldn't acknowledge that I was hard of hearing, heavy accents didn't help. Had 7 charges for Play Station almost $1000, since I've never even seen one, wasn't me . Because of all the weird charges they wouldn't activate the new Visa card. A good weather window opened so in I went, took almost an hour getting everything straightened out. Meanwhile when I did get to the grocery store almost filled my buggy with produce and fruit. Had help unloading the car when I got home Thursday 3 ish. Did bring a nasty bout of the local crud home with me, first time in several years that a cold hit me so hard.  One of the first pair of Koigu gloves I did were for me, but last winter I snagged middle finger on a nail on my handrail, brought them up front, cut off da...

Gloves and such

In 2015 I sent Jean Miles in  Edinburgh a surprise pair of the gloves I'd been working on while rereading her blogs, first pix one taken at her place. Second taken while dressed in woolies to go on an recent outing.                       Orangerinos all finished waiting for a dip thru a Eucalan bath.  Current pair started with a base colour of turquoise, leftover Koigu choices are getting a bit thinner but still have enuff to finish this pair. When I first started saving Koigu it could be had for $9 a skein, now  I believe its over $16 US (means almost $21 Canadian, plus crazy post from wherever it comes from). Also have socks on needles, this is one of the last pair ordered (ahem a couple of years ago), no pix yet as I believe they are to be a surprise. For the most part this winter has  been verra mild, right now there isn't any snow, none. According to weather peoples we are due for another blast of arctic a...

 Long time.  Made these for a  lady  in  Banff,  she chose the colours. When I sent a pix she said she didn't like  where and how I'd placed the colours in the patterns. Slowly I replied. Then she said when I knit the next pair to put this colour with another etc, again  slowly (burn underway)  I told her that it didn't work that way.  Wouldn't do another, so she said she'd take them the way they were with a discount.  Honey, to late sold them elsewhere. And I 'm glad I don't take any  money  up front. Fraternal and size 10. Have come really close to making the ugliest Monstersocks, bottom pix are closest so far. Was without the internet from 15 - 29 April, amazing how  much  knitting time that freed up. Did the  3 pair shorties in  that  time frame, mix and match.  All are the same number of rows approx sized 7.5 to 8.5.   Next pair  were to fill an older order. Spring has finally s...
