My ‘desk’ is my lap, and I’m making twiddles. I’m still in a group making cannula sleeves for patients with dementia. It was set up by a nurse so they have strict rules on construction, so the sleeve stretches to cover a cannula, and to avoid choke hazards. Some members are happy to knit but don’t like making twiddles so now I’m making batches for them.
At first I washed them in a bag but they tangled terribly and it took a good couple of hours to untangle them. I’ve now an agreement that the recipients will wash them once they’re sewn in. I’m not going to art class today but I finished my canal boat.
It has a few mistakes but I enjoyed making it.
Last week, we started a painting of spring flowers in the style of Kurt Jackson, who uses recycled jars and garden bits and bobs. I have a pussy willow from a class last year which has dried nicely.
Bella likes to stay close and sends you all purrs. And finally…

sorry you are feeling poorly, hope you get better soon. I think the canal boat looks great, well done! Good job on the twiddlers too, Jo has a rival!! Happy WOYWW (and great funnies too) Helen #2
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well but looks like you're keeping busy and the twiddlers are so sweet. Take care and wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x11x
It was nice to see your name on the list this morning, I hope you’re not feeling too gronky this morning and that Aragorn was a suitably good nurse ;-D. Your canal boat is really good, it looks like it’s pushing through the water - look forward to seeing your version of the daffs too. The funnies made me hoot especially the odds on using up stash *grin*
Stay warm and get better soon,
Hugs LLJ 5 xx
I love your and finally especially pooh and piglet one, 😃 and the twiddled are very colourful but difficult to wash I imagine.
Pray your infection goes away, I'm permanently on steroids so am permanently tired.
Happy WOYWW, Shaz in Oz.x
Your boat is looking amazing. Well done. Glad to see you are feeling well enough to join in. LOL! I am totally a feral housewife :D The twiddles look interesting, Did you wash them in one of the net bags? My MIL keeps buying them for "me" but really cause she wants to use them when she visits. I must have a ton cause I never remember where they were stashed between visits.
A no-knitting day WOYWW!

Wow, what a big box of twiddles! They do look fun to make! Your drawing is lovely, I've always wanted to go one one of those boats! I love the jar with Spring flowers in it, are those flowers actually blooming now where you live? That last comic is great, however, I dont know if I'm aiming for "feral" or "domestic"! Probably domestic, as I'm pretty feral already! LOL! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #15
Love the idea of feral housewives and Pooh doing crochet🤣🤣. Is he brainy enough to do you think! The twiddlers are so colourful en masse, well done. Happy WOYWW. Angela #12
Sorry to hear about the chest infection - hope you get it cleared soon.
I do like the canal boat picture and am sorry you see a couple of errors but I don't think anyone else will notice unless you tell them - don't mention it.
Hugs, Neet xx
Sorry to hear your not well. Hope you make a speedy recovery. Those fiddly twiddly things look so pretty in your basket. I think cannula sleeves are a great idea. I can imagine fiddling with them can be very tempting to the patients. Your twiddles must make the perfect finishing touch. The canal boat painting is beautiful despite errors. What errors!!! The container for the flowers is fabulous. I have a pussy willow twig too. It has roots so it's in water in a milk bottle on the windowsill. I'm hoping I will be able to pot it up eventually and put it out in the garden. Bella is so beautifully fluffy. Silver sends her best meows. Take care and get well. Elizabeth x #16
There's so many bugs about. I hope your chest infection clears up soon. Your box of twiddles is fab but I did chuckle at the tangles- it's just the sort of thing I do.😀x x Jo 🌈
Yay I've made it at last. Sorry you have a bug too, it's not fun is it! Love all the knitted twiddles and the spring flower display. Adore pussy willow so great that you have a dried piece. Think I might be a part feral housewife!
Hugs bj#1
Hope you are feeling better! Please excuse the late WOYWW greetings but this is my life now, whatever I do can't keep Wednesdays free!! The twiddles look great but I can imagine your frustration untangling them all!! Loving the feral housewife idea - where can I sign up? Have a great week, love n hugs Cindyxx #13.
Sorry you are unwell Lynne - hope you are better soon. Meow and purrs to Bella. I don't know where the time goes. Have only just found time to visit everyone. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
