This is the second Christmas I have been writing a blog and it rounds up an eventful year in the life of Sally.
I'm not sure if I've achieved what I set out to blog wise. I had such a gap over the summer due to the problems with my phone. I know it's no excuse as I could've gone on my laptop to post but it's just far easier on my phone.
Health wise, I had my hip replaced in April which made such a massive difference to my life. I started on the drug Toculizumab which has helped to make the arthritis readings in my blood the lowest they have been in twenty years. I feel like I'm able to get around a bit easier too.
Knitting wise I haven't done as well as I'd have hoped which is probably due to my shoulder. I'm really hoping to get back into it once my shoulder has healed.
Knits I made were:
Blanket for my niece
Cardigan for my niece
Hat for my niece
Little sisters dress for knitty friends daughter MJ
Cloths and comfort bear for another knitty friend's little one
Little baby cardigan for the lady who does my nails
Gloves for Amy
Lots of flowers
Leg warmers
2 scarves
Socks for Dad
Crochet shawl
Sock yarn lace fingerless gloves
Lacy gloves
Holiday wise, I spent a week in the Maldives, went to Glastonbury for the first time, I went on a knitting holiday and went to Holland for a week on October.
Looking forward to 2012.
Being able to knit more
Shoulder surgery and being more independent
Going to see my knitty friend in Cumbria
Another trip to Malaysia
Going to New York for a friends wedding
Going to another festival
Getting fit
So here's to 2012. Happy New Year everyone.
By Gum Sally! You need to add 'stop and draw breath' for your list of things to do in 2012!! Hope the shoulder surgery went well x
