Thank you for posting, my dear friend! Noreen

Hi Mirjam et al.,

I pop in from time to time to check out the group - wishing you all well! I'm slo-o-owly crocheting, and still owe some unnamed people a crocheted piece! *grin and sorry for being late* And thanks Mirjam for the numerous interesting articles you posted here, one of which I wanted to reply to.

I got my first below-right-knee prosthesis in 2001, and heard about the computerized knees which were helping above-knee amputees. And I recently felt a prosthesis for a child with an above-knee amputation - the knee itself wasn't computerized, but did have LED's (light emitting diodes - red lights, essentially) which flashed as the child stepped. Which I thought was a marvellous way of further motivating the child to walk and have fun! In case you're interested, I go to Award Prosthetics in Burnaby bordering Vancouver

Cheers all!

Hi, David! Good to hear from you again. I hope all is well with you. Judy

Hi Judy,

Yes, everything's going quite well thanks! Slowly crocheting as I wrote previously, and getting a bit smarter at it too. I hope. *grin* The most recent piece I finished (a combination of variegated blue eyelash acrylic yarn with iridescent mother-of-pearl crochet thread) - a doily of sorts with a wavy edging - had a loose thread that wouldn't tighten when I finished the piece. I shudder at the thought of it coming untangled and undone, so decided to sew the end yarn to the edge with appropriately-matched color thread. Hoping that works!

How've you been doing? Well I hope!

Hugs,

David

That sounds like a good idea - I think it should work.

Things are busy here this spring. Lately I have been working on a box of baby things to go to Afghans for Afghans for a project for new mothers. I knit some baby socks, hats, and a blanket. The blanket was a simple pattern - like a giant garter stitch dishcloth - but it is wool and it will wrap well as it is stretchy. It should keep some baby nice and warm.

I am also making my husband a pair of socks and starting on a sweater for myself.

I need to crochet some more hot pads. They are better than the ones I can buy and my boys want some for their kitchens. I am really a beginner at crochet but enjoy it. I haven't made anything very complicated yet.

Hi, David, good to "see" you! Noreen

Wow Judy, lots of great yarn projects! And good luck with your improved crocheting!

David

I'm starting to feel motivated to crochet on a more regular basis once again after reading all these delicious yarn posts. :-)

Your cheery wave made my day, David, and 'seeing' you amongst us again made my MONTH! Hugs, Noreen
