Hiatus

Not really doing much at the moment. My hands are not really in good shape. My eczema is bad, and my thumbs are cracked and bleeding and I had an infection (sorted thanks to homeopathic remedy) and then I sliced one thumb on the broken tap, and then grated it and sliced the other while doing onions then next day. So basically, bad thumb karma. Trying to take care of myself, so I will be ready for the Ravelympics, which I hope to take part in for the first time this year. Would like to get some things done for the two eldest daughters, one who is graduating from university in July, and the other starting in September. Must stop being distracted by shawls and cotton things for summer! At least I can still look at things on Ravelry, while waiting for my hands to be able to make something.

Plans

I haven't  really finished anything since my last post. Still Zooming along on Gatherings Leaves Shawl, well  not really. I have taken a break so I can make things for other people. I am working on a pair of socks for my eldest who is soon  to graduate from university. Then I have a couple of things I want to make for the next daughter who is flying from the nest and heading to university in September. And I am already thinking of Ravelympics  things to do.

This post is to remind me what events I want to do. :-) I will be on holiday during the mass cast on so I will have to take something with me I guess, and cast on  others the next day when  I get back. I want to do Balance Beads, maybe beading a shawl or scarf: Colourwork crosscountry, maybe doing the fairisle slippers in the Debbie Bliss mag I have; Sock Put, how about some toe-ups? Modular relay, finally do those bobble hexagons I've been wanting to do; Wips Wrestling, maybe finishing the Buttercup or those gloves that have been there for about 4 years...

Nothing exciting to say, or photos to post, just a memory to jog in the coming weeks. :)
