A bad day is followed by a good day

I had a good day today. It started off with me feeling rather crappy as I didn't sleep well again, but I was up and dressed and out to knitting early which made me feel loads better.  I also got a few jobs done that I’ve been putting off for ages and I feel better for sorting that too.

It was Knitty friends last day today as she is moving to Cumbria tomorrow.  A couple of weeks ago we had a special little surprise for her. We didn’t have time to knit anything so it was decided that we would all donate a ball of DK so she could make a blanket or something out of it all to remind her of us. I knew exactly what to buy...King Cole’s Riot, also known as ‘I can’t believe it’s not Noro!’

I can't believe it's not Noro, can you?

Knitty friend and I have been drooling over Riot for a while now so I thought it was the perfect choice. There is a lovely cardie pattern I would like to knit up in Riot.  I haven’t bought it because of finishing all my other projects off first but Knits and Needles in Stafford has got one up knitted up in the shop window.  I definitely think that this is a sign and as Knitty friend is moving I may knit it to remind me of her.

This evening I met up with one of my friends who also works for Arthritis Care.

She’s also not been feeling too well lately.  I’m not one to think the weather has much to do with flare ups but that’s me, and two of my arthur friends that are not well at the moment so who knows.  Anyway it was great to see her to have a good moan, as we all need to moan to someone who knows what it's all about, I'm shattered now though!
