Unfinished projects.

If, like me you have masses of unfinished projects, you'll no doubt have experienced the same feelings when I'm rapidly approaching the end of the project. The perfectionist in the back of your brain will tell you that what you've done is not really up to scratch and you should abandon, or start again on the whole project. Somehow, my daughter-in-law in Denver realized by my chat comments that I was rapidly approaching that point and asked to see a photo of what I was working on, hence the above photo. Now, having announced it to the world I guess I'd better get to work and finish the job.

Since my arthritis has kicked in this year, knitting has become more than a pastime. It has become a necessity to keep the old digits up to scratch because, as my G.P. is so fond of telling me, "use it or lose it". Regretably this is easier said than done, especially with my spinal column which is why I've started going to hydro-therapy classes three times a week. Despite my bitching and moaning about the waste of time, I must admit that going to exercise classes conducted in the heated pool has certainly helped my condition. As has the tablets the doctor has prescribed. Whatever will I do over the Christmas break. I guess I'll just have to goad myself into being more active. However, if anyone has come up with something that helps arthritis I'd certainly be interested in knowing what it is but I'm not banking on it but will continue to up my stretching exercises, walking and keep on knitting.
