WORKING WITH YARN

 I'm still working along on this afghan;  I bought more yarn to make it larger so I have been making a pile of blocks and then I add a row.  I always crochet the lengthwise rows together and then do the width ones last.  I don't think it matters but it is my routine!  As soon as I laid it down on the floor to check the size so far, Lena had to come and check it out! lol
Today, I have to go in for some x-rays so the rheumatologist will have the results for my appointment next week. 
 Too much fun, I must admit!
Bill will drop me off so I have a skein of yarn and my hook so I can make some more of the solid granny square blocks while I wait for him to pick me up again;  with yarn in my hands, I can be very patient!  No wonder it keeps my blood pressure down!

  4. Wow...it's really grown! Waiting room knitting is the best. It's one thing I really miss about Dad. I used to get so much done waiting for his doctor's appointments.

  5. Very pretty colors and Lena does seem to appreciate it. I always take either knitting or crochet with me to appointments. Not only do I get a lot done, it usually is a conversation starter with someone. One I ended up making dishcloths for all of the nurses in the office! They told me their preferred colors and I delivered them a couple of weeks later.
    Praying that all goes well at your appointment.
    Blessings and love,
    Betsy

Tuesday, I had to go in for a CT scan and an ultrasound to see why there is such a problem with my bladder.   I had to fast for these tests,...
