Since my last rambling post I have been out to two stores; John Lewis and Hobbycraft, where I was able to find circular needles, cable needles/holders, and some new knitting books/patterns (links to each to follow).
I have gained a new skill, I have (nearly) mastered basket weave... And I'm liking it! I'm not quite brave enough to try cabling yet! I want to but I am nervous!
I sent a knitted poppy to a friend yesterday, and this evening I got a text saying thank you for the poppy; gave me a warm glow!
I am knitting myself back to health and happiness following contracting viral meningitis in June 2012. I enjoy knitting as it is something I can carry around with me. My background is in psychology and artificial intelligence and forensic psychology, and am looking to make the move into teaching. This blog is intended as somewhere to share the trials and tribulations of knitting, but also the little known recovery stages of viral meningitis.
