    Socks are all I knit nowadays. 

    If using needles I use 5. Splitting the stitches across 4 holding needles makes turning the heel easier. For plain socks I use a circular needle and the magic loop method. 

    Pity you dontbluve closer! I may say I'm not bothered about mastering trying but I am!!!!  I learn much better by demonstration

    I used to do cross stitch when away in the van but my eyesight can't cope with it anymore.  I still have a half finished piece in a cupboard somewhere.

    OK as a pastime but very limited use. Tapestry similar. Yes its something to occupy my hands whilst my mind drifts or listens to TV/radio that caused me to look out knitting again; not brilliant at anything complicated but enjoy the challenge if a simple
    pattern and the satisfaction of accomplishments. However I actually want something as an end product. Knitted dishcloth anyone???

    Mine too when she was out of other projects. I hated the bulkiness of them myself, and they took an age to dry however you laid/hung them after use

    I'm sitting here with ice packs on my knee. I've got to do my exercises four times a day followed by icing to try and get the swelling down. I had the operation on Tuesday and was home on Thursday. I chickened out on staying awake and had the sedative, I
    woke up in the operating theatre just as they were bandaging up my leg. I'm hoping to go to my daughters for tea since I'm getting stir crazy already.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery. Wise decision on the anesthesia front, glad you didn't wake up during it!!!

    Maybe you'd like to show it to your manager and discuss a pay rise .  Regardless its always nice to receive acknowledgement of a job well done congratulations.

    I expect you are more than glad that the operation is over and done with? Sensible decision to have the sedative!!! Good luck with your recovery, things won't seem so bad as the days and weeks pass by.

    Thanks for the kind wishes Milliehull and David. Yes although it's very painful at the moment, the exercises cause the most pain, I'm sure it will all work out in the end. They do say no gain without pain and never was it more true
