How are you getting on with the knitting, Maisie? Have the quacks still not worked out why you feel faint?
I have always knitted, designing straight onto the needles, without a pattern. Mostly I knit only in the late evening, for a couple of hours, takes me ages to finish anything.
When my children were growing up I was deep into knitting Aran sweaters, for one large husband, two (ever larger) sons, one large father, a couple of large uncles and even meself, very occasionally. I used to have a small piece of knitting, like a sock, about my person, at all times and knitted in the Tube, at lunchtime in work, in the car (if hubby was driving) ... everywhere.
Looking back, I don't know how I managed to knit so much complicated stuff, makes my fingers ache, just thinking about it.
