A note about summer

My last post was in February a few days into our escape from winter weather in Upper Michigan.  Shortly thereafter I began a bout with shingles.

Yes, I had the shot, and it might have been much worse without it.  As it was my symptoms were backwards and I was in the hospital being treated for cellulitis before any lesions appeared.  My face and eye were involved, so I have had a lot of follow-up attention. They diagnosed it because of my level of pain.

I am still not fully pleased with my vision-- but on the other hand, it has never been that good.

Once I felt well enough to do something, I decided to master lace knitting and followed the advice of Ravelry friends and used yarn in a weight which would let me see my stitches and my pattern.  This resulted in something I am truly pleased with.  Alas, now that Google has changed again, I can't access my pictures.  Gone too long.

I have knit a couple of prayer shawls, taken to hanging out with that group on Tuesdays, made some baby quilts, and knit a sweater----just for a baby.

No exercise, but plenty of thread-bending.  So for those of you who worried about me.  I am still here, alive and kicking.

Leave a comment so I know you're okay, too.
