TTMT #682 – The Pegasus in the Room

1 Reply

In which I share my new toy, show a heap of crocheted blankets for The Linus Connection, and talk about The Pegasus in the Room!

I’ve changed the way I do my thumbnails over the last few weeks. I’ve also been toying with the idea of not making thumbnails at all. Thoughts? Keep making custom static thumbnails or let YouTube generate one?

Pegasus!

TTMT #681 – Sitting & Hooking

Leave a reply

This week finds me still sitting after injuring my bad foot. If you want to skip foot talk, go to about 1:40 in the video. Seriously, I explain the whole thing. 😐 Inactivity has found me crocheting pretty much non-stop. I have two more blankets in progress that I didn’t even show today!

TTMT #680 – Sit A Spell

2 Replies

In which I share some mail and a couple of finishes for The Linus Connection.

The long version of the doctor’s appointment story is this: my surgeon left her practice, and medicine altogether, in March or April last year. She referred me to one of her colleagues, who has since also left that same practice, but not the medical field. ALL of the doctors my surgeon worked with have now left. Two of them are starting a new practice, but aren’t taking patients until the end of July. I tried to get in with about six different podiatrists and none of them are taking new patients for at least a month. Since I could not get in immediately to see a podiatrist, I have an appointment with an “injury specialist” at my clinic’s urgent care this afternoon. At the very least, I want to make sure I haven’t seriously damaged my already damaged foot! Whew! See why I didn’t want to explain all that in video?!

TTMT #602 – Hanging In There!

Leave a reply

December 8! We’ve almost made it to the end of this year. I’m hanging in there and hope you are, too.

Edited to add: I just found a heavy white fabric in my stash that might work for the patches because *of course* I did. 😂

TTMT #594 – Positive Attitude

Leave a reply

A number of people have reached out and asked how I’m managing my repetitive stress injury (RSI) with all the crocheting. Early this year, my primary care physician recommended fish oil to help keep my cholesterol in check. It has had the rather amazing side effect of REALLY helping with my RSI and with arthritis in general. I’m not recommending it to you because it’s also a blood thinner (see cholesterol comment above) and I’m obviously not a doctor. That’s my secret, though, and I have no complaints about that!

Correction from last week: I think I told you all that the hats I’ve been making start with an 8″ circle and go from there. They do not! They start with a 6″ circle. Sorry about that.
