Rather depressing #showmeyoutknits today. Finished glove #1 and was well into the pattern on glove #2 when I dropped a stich. I couldn't pick it up again so ended up pulling back the whole glove and starting again. That's the joy of having a CRVO in one eye!

Thank you. My favourite is Death in Paradise mainly for the music but I do watch the.others too. Bit of a sucker for murder mysteries in all guises

Brilliant. I didn't think of that! I thought it looked like those paperweights with the colourful circles of glass in them.

Shout at seagulls to stop them taking your food, research suggests Researchers tested 61 gulls by playing recordings of a male voice shouting, speaking and the neutral birdsong of a robin.

Hats theme. #showmeyourknits . Saw a character on Hey Duggee wearing a beanie with a big daisy on it so decided to see if I could knit one. Hopefully Once it's ironed it will look flatter. #KnitSky

It's one of the things keeping my spirits up. To suddenly lose most of the sight in one eye is overwhelming!

First full day at work since December when I was diagnosed with a CRVO. Absolutely shattered and tomorrow I've got the delight of my third round of laser treatment to my eye. At least I can still knit... #knitsky

Gone fishing. Today's creation is a child's hat with a funky fish design. Time to keep cosy... #knitsky
