My husband and I were both griping today about how crappy it is to grow old--he was complaining about plucking hairs on the top of his nose, and I was complaining about those pesky chin hairs that pop out overnight--and are now white so they are hard to see!! Seriously, it is hard when your body doesn't keep up with the mind and I am frankly tired of the aches and pains! You take care of yourself so things don't flare back up--you have such great projects going and are too hard on yourself! <br />I am thrilled for you that your grandson might come to visit soon-you know how I really get that kind of excitement. We just cannot love on those Grands enough, can we?<br />*smiles and a hug* Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-63803500968140315652013-07-28T18:46:03.284-05:002013-07-28T18:46:03.284-05:00So many pretty projects!

Take care of yourself, sometimes a little rest and ibuprofen will do miracles where strain or inflammation are the cause of the pain.Anita Rowe Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774808153237824189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-57277503371359788042013-07-28T18:45:25.516-05:002013-07-28T18:45:25.516-05:00I have a handy prescription for Diclofenac Sodium ...I have a handy prescription for Diclofenac Sodium on hand for whenever I have the slightest twinge in my back - it's like magic!<br /><br />Now, about those gaps ... this is pretty common. There are some suggestions online ...<br /><br />http://nonaknits.typepad.com/nonaknits/2004/12/a_bit_of_braggi.html<br /><br />but I generally just make sure I give the working yarn a bit of a tug after the first couple purls following a knitted section. When you move the yarn from the back of the work to the front the path is longer and the extra length of working yarn can result it a gap. Just make sure in moving the yarn from the back to the front you move it BEFORE you start your purl stitch to avoid an accidental yarn over which will DEFINITELY result in a gap.<br /><br />All that being said, it will probably mostly block out. So I'd carry on!<br /><br />Minding My Own Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946752212001968413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-11862974628764591712013-07-28T17:58:46.353-05:002013-07-28T17:58:46.353-05:00I hope your back gets better soon - there's no...I hope your back gets better soon - there's nothing worse than not being able to move without pain.<br />I'm sure all of those projects will come together as you start to feel better, even the tedious ones!!

I know all ...Oh I do so hope your back gets better. I know all to well how bad and painful it can be. I suffer from it but that would be 8 baby's close in age that did it to me and the only thing that I found really cured it was rest, total rest. Loving these projects on the go the blackberry I've added to my favourites and I love the pillowcases I am borrowing that idea also. With the ballband and seat cover if it were me I'd work on both for an hour a day and then switch to something I liked as a reward, nothing quite worse than a tedious project. The ducky cloth I suspect its loose and gappy where your going from purl to knit and vice a versa, if you try giving the yarn an extra pull to tightening it up it should sort that out for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
