Fuss and bother

Instead of me posting an update on my knitting, I am instead writing to say that I am sorry if anyone was expecting anything of me this week - I owe at least one person a swap package, and probably some purchasers their yarn, but yesterday was a shit of a day involving me having my car written off and ending up in hospital after being in a car accident. It was an accident in the true sense of the word and I counted my toes this morning in the shower to ensure that yes I really did have them still. The accident could have been so much more worse but instead I walked away from it and am only shaken and a lot sore. No idea whether I’ll get my car fixed or paid out as yet, and I’m carless for a while which is a challenge!

Actually I will post an update - partly because it was my birthday last week and I wanted to thank people who sent me packages, and partly because I have made some knitting progress around school work! Full pictures accessible here.

Birthday (tea, birthday present fountain pen, needles and charms from the fantastic and sweet Frances):

Sock-ret pal swap package (overview, more sock yarn, cool sticky notes and yummy lipbalm!!):  

Yarn from Japan (Osk’s trip resulted in 30 balls of yummy wool/silk yarn!):   - I now have to knit something out of it! It’s a pretty, standard 8ply yarn so I can make something large…

WIPs (one-armed Sonnet, Rogue, Clapotis, Tubey):

  1. Poor Em, hope you are feeling better soon. I’m sure the insurance assessor will tell you if the car is worth repairing rather than writing off. Whichever it is, IT can be replace, YOU can’t, so thank heaven that you are OK.
    Love the colour or your clap.
