Who loves a list, with things crossed off

I got my sock yarn out and started another pair of Christmas socks, these are ladies size, so a quicker knit, it's good to have something simple in my hands.

 This simple stripe works on many levels, below is the change over side, and almost every time it works smoothly, carrying the yarn over each row keeps it neat and hardly any ends to sew in. 

My crochet blanket is growing, 

I am loving the mixed colours squares, more photo's soon. 

Back at the end of March I made a list of things I wanted to do, I have crossed 3 big task off the list, and worked on 2, my book and BSL course. I have started another pair of socks for a Christmas gift. 

I have added a couple more task to my list, it feels good to be looking at my WIP and bringing them out to see them grow and hopefully get finished. 

These list will be never ending, but it's good to focus my mind, the recent few wet days have been wonderful, the garden water buts are full again, and gives me crafting time inside. I do feel sorry for anyone without outside space, living in a flat at these times must be hard, and with children even harder, Daughter Su is forever explaining to Will why they can't do things, they do have a garden so he can play outside.
I'm having problems with my shoulder and back, both ache, both stop me doing things, I now realise with my shoulder, it's not about lifting things, I can't stretch and do things, often that chore is just within reach, and I have to now stop reaching. My back I twisted when lifting a pot in the garden and now the low back aches if I stand or sit for too long. Nothing can be done with my shoulder and left side, it's issues leftover from so many operations in 2010 & 2012, I do have tablets to take away the nerve pains I get, but they make me sleepy, so I only use them at night. The back will mend it's self, until I twist it again. I'm not feeling sorry for myself, just frustrated and annoyed, I do so much without thinking, and then I suffer.
So with the wet weather and my aches it's craft time, other than sewing machine and loom, both not good for my back, so knitting and crochet time, I did look at my hexagons I have loads ready for stitching together, I will hang my head in shame, the linked post was from 2016, hummm, just maybe another for my list.
