Hi everyone from a brilliantly sunny part of France, at least for now. The forecast was gloomy but so far it's a beautiful day, and I hope it is for everyone in the UK, too.

Thanks for all the lovely totals. I have just done the update (yes, I know, on time for once!). You can find it here:

Pippa - I added a category for Wheelchair wraps.

Shaz - I put your heart, your finger puppets, and your chicks under 'Toys'.

F1 - I am so pleased that your DH is home now and hope that he gets better and better every day.

Ginnyknit - I hope your OH is doing well.

Elaine - I hope you are doing well and that you are taking it easy.

Chalky - safe trip back to Spain. I'm glad you have had a lovely family-filled weekend!

I have already added my wheelchair wrap to my totals although I still have the edging to do, which I will do this afternoon. It's a great pattern and very satisfying to watch it grow.

No news yet from any of the viewings, so I try and put them out of my mind!

I hope you all have a good day.

My total: 1 lap blanket
1 wheelchair wrap

Morning just a quick pop in
cold and wet here again.... nothing new there then...this weather always makes me feel miserable but a little bit of sunshine has the oposite effect
ah well as Scarlett said "tomorrow is another day" ....

kathy - good idea, I enjoy doing the W/Wraps, shawls are good as well but some of the old ones struggle with them as they tend to sit on the pointy bit at the back if it's a bit long
f1 - it's a good sign when you start cutting the strings a bit...means he's on the way up, so pleased for you both. Hope you get to see your friend and she has completely recovered
shaz - my goodness you and your Mom have been busy well done. How is your DGS coming along hope you are getting lots of cuddles

Another UFO finished last night, the gathering scarf, the pattern wasn't as bad as I thought, so I'll maybe make a start on the 'posh' one in the Rowan Kidsilk that my sister bought me, just got to thread the beads on first all 200 :eek: of them...or maybe I will hang-fire on that for a while

Love to all keep warm Ax

Hi everyone from a very rainy corner of the world.

Pippa - I think the wheelchair wrap is so much better than a shawl. Now that I've made one I can see what a clever pattern it is (all credit to the designer, Susan A Coes). It really does stay put, thanks to the shaping and the way it sits on the shoulders. It's ideal for anyone who needs an extra layer of warmth, whether or not they are wheelchair-bound. I am so pleased with the results and will definitely be making more.

F1 - hope your DH is doing well.

Ginny - hope your OH is having as good a day as possible.

Chalky - hope you have a good sailing and that Spain is at least sunny!

Jean - hope you are not racing around too much!

Well, I am off to take a cuppa into the sitting room. I've been busy all morning doing housework (yawn) and I've made a bread-and-butter pudding, too, as well as a huge batch of onion soup which is cooling ready to be portioned and frozen, so I'm feeling as if I deserve a sit down with my wool and hook!

Hello all, very quiet here just now.

Well, talk about one step forward and two back. Since I was last here I`ve been to-ing and fro-ing to the doctor with this dizzyness. Had another couple of days prone on the bed as every time I stood up I was sick again. Finally seems to be settling a bit more now, fingers crossed anyway. Still a bit swimmy now and again but no sickness.

Actually managed to do a few rows of knitting last night. Not much been happening on the woolly front so will need to catch up.

The crochet wrap was ripped out............don`t know WHAT on earth I was doing, but it just didn`t look right at all.
But I haven`t given up yet.

Anyway, yesterday was a bit special. Don`t know if this will work but if not I`ll be like Robert the Bruce`s spider. Something yummy from someone scrummy.
Nope - didn`t work.

Yay, success. you can teach old dogs new tricks after all. Not sure if I`ll be able to do it again tho`.

ps the t shirt says Here comes trouble. Says it all really.
