Hello, I'm Handy
I live near the Humber Estuary where I crochet, taxi my Young'un around, watch Dr Who, Strictly, Bake-Off, Sewing Bee etc, go to occasional random gigs and walk when my foot isn't crocked!
Married to Mr H for 34 years, adjusting to life beyond work, opposite of a domestic goddess 😁

I understand the fuzziness
Because I'm not working at all at the moment I navigate the week by appointments and the Big Shop, so if I do the Big Shop on a different day I'm screwed 😁

The newly published "Ribbed hat & mitts" are a forever free pattern in one. Quick and easy to knit with just one Easy care Chunky cake 🧶 and I just ❤️ the color, it's so intense.

Just trying a project and finding it doesn't work is still useful - at least now you know! And it was a very impressive thing to try even if ultimately you felt it was wrong for the yarn.
My knitting skills are very very low so if I wanted cables on something I would probably have to do it this way

My absolute favourite of the "daft ways you have hurt yourself" stories.
It's a short thread and is absolutely worth a minute of your time! 😁

I told this story on the other site once, so here you go...
I was working for the county office of the Department of Labor as an assistant to Contracts and Planning and the Community Workforce Program in a big office.
My boss has a big desk across the room, and I had a smaller one that faced him.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.
