The Joy Of...

... knitting. If you have just given up smoking (Day Three! Day Three!) then knitting is brilliant. You can keep your hands and just enough of your brain busy to stop thinking about it for, ooh, minutes. Well, until you drop a stitch and have to stop because you don't know how to pick them up. Come home Ms P and fix my knitting! Soon.

But when the wondrous piece of handiwork (a scarf, somewhat wonky, for Miles, also somewhant wonky) is finally finished it will be a true joint effort -- at least five pairs of hands will have had a go. And thanks will be due to Julia, for the knitting needles, the casting on lesson and finding the splendid red parrot fandango.
