Been quite some time since I've been able to 'be here' but I've a turn for the better health-wise, but no promises as to how often I'll be back. It's been a very difficult summer with surgery a coupla weeks ago. now it'll be a 2/3 month recovery time. Mainly been reading and after 8 years have finally finished a Granny Square crocheted afghan, my next goal is a Knitted Ripple Afghan in shades of purple for MOI! Yuppers!! for moi. May be a long time doing it as I can't knit very long periods anymore.but I WILL get it done. No sewing at all this year and I have 2 rows left on an I SPY...baby celebrated his 2nd HB on Mr Joe's HB......oh well, it may end up being a Superman Cape :)



Gotta get my feetz back up so you all take care and have a superb Turkey Day. (Kidlets are doing the dinner)

So good to hear from you~!!!!!!! I haven't been quilting, except for lap quilts. There is always a lot of mending to do around here! Hope you continue to feel better as you improve. Thanks for remembering us! Good luck with your knitting and hand sewing. Barbara, was in SC, but now in Central FL for the Winter

Have you considered getting someone to wrap masking tape around the part of the knitting needles and the crochet hook that you hold? Maybe a lot of layers of tape would make it easier for the fingers! Hope this helps! Barbara

Thanks. I haven't been able to 'hand sew' >

They make sleeves for crochet hooks to make them easier to hold. Such things do not work so well for knitting needles as you have to hold the work on the needles. However you can get either in wood, which IMHO is a lot easier to hang on to and work with, especially for knitting.

Now I am cripplingly right handed. To the point where I cannot crochet the double ended tunisian stitch, nor knit continental style. So I should imagine that if you are better with your left hand than your right, those would be the way to go!
