I’m pretty co-dependent, so I always thought I’d be a terrible hermit.
Turns out, as long as I have my computer, a good book and some knitting (and the occasional visitor) I’m all good.
My sister’s having a baby at the start of October, and I was given pretty clear instructions that I would knit something for my new niece while I was incapacitated. So a couple of weeks ago Mum taught me how to knit, and I’ve been going strong on a wee practise piece for a while. Last night I started the real thing.
Nine rows in and I’m awesome.
I’m also getting really into my book, A Game of Thrones.
I watched Hall Pass (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480687/) – unsurprisingly, not worth it. Don’t bother. Probably not even if you’re bored and have nothing else to do. Luckily I knitted while watching, so the time wasn’t completely wasted.
Things which are making me laugh online:

In surgery related news, I can feel myself getting a little better and a little stronger each day. Having had my leg all chopped up, it’s now very weak, and I can’t actually do a lot with it. But I can now lift it onto the foot rest by muscle (instead of using my pants to lift it!). I was rather proud.
There’s snow everywhere, but Mum managed to clear the path to get me out to the car this morning, and I got to go for a coffee – breaking my hermit lifestyle. Enough excitement for one day, back to the solitary life for me. Where did I put my knitting?
I could do with a nice warm jersey once you've finished the rest of your knitting. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how I go, Brother. This knitting thing takes a long time!
