Finishing projects

Another dreadful day as far as running goes- I've been in so much pain yesterday and today it's left me in tears. Time to pay up and see the osteopath again. Anything to get a diagnosis and a plan of action to fix things. Right now a marathon in May looks like an impossibility.

But I've finished the cushion cover! It hasn't turned out quite right but I think it'll be ok. And I'm well on the way to canibalising a skirt from the charity shop and making it into a Victorian apron for our Victorian day at work. I have some lovely frilled broderie anglaise-type stuff for trimming it.

Here's the front of the cushion. It does rather look like an enormous hedgehog!

And the back of the cushion.



Downs and ups

Yesterday was a Bad Day. I knew I shouldn't run so walked the required time instead. A couple of times I really wanted to break into a gentle run and tried- agony. A whole new pain. Maybe I'm doing the wrong thing and should just give up running.

To console myself I almost managed to finish up the current knitting project- a cushion cover using the Katia Rizos yarn. Just a few rows left and I need to choose some lovely buttons. Photo to come when it's all finished. Maybe then I should knit myself some new legs.
