A New Beginning

 I have had a fairly tumultuous year, began by trashing the couch (actually just stripping it down) as it was in dire need of recovering and re upholstering. finished photo in a minute.
I then finally succumbed to months of agony and not being able to walk properly and had a foot and ankle operation which involved twelve weeks in a cast with no weight bearing and keeping ones foot up all the time which might sound ok but sends one slightly crazy being unable to get around.

Prior to this we had been making a new kitchen for our projected new house, designed by me and carcases made by my husband and drawer and door fronts polished by me out of Hoop Pine Ply.

nice pink cast

Finally I got back on my feet, and finished the couch

Pretty pleased with the result

Did some knitting while on the couch Rowan baby merino silk DK very lovely wool to knit with

more soon
