Our Wonderful Pharaceutical Companies

 Have you ever dealt with the great, I say that tongue firmly in cheek, pharmaceutical companies of this great country?

If you’re reasonably healthy, I would avoid it at all cost.

If you’re a person of limited means or a senior you probably have no choice.

That’s where I’m at. AbbVie Inc, one of the biggest out there is always advertising their wonderful compassionate care program.

Ya right… since four months or so my doctor has been desperately trying to get me a drug and been turned down at every turn. Interestingly enough they did at one time approve me for Humira but it became ineffective. Since then I’ve been through four or so different biological and would like to give another one a try.

Well nope, too bad, so sad… I guess I’m now old and no longer important, Namaste.

Socks, Socks and more Socks

I've been busy since the cast came off. 

Those were the most fun with granny squares.

 

Crocheting & Knitting - I'm Back

 Just crocheting for a bit until the hand heals.  This is a lovely scrappy triangle shawl. I started a new pair of socks and I'm doing a mitered scrappy blanket from leftover sock yarn. I got tired of making scrappy socks.

Have a great week..

Cast Off Day

Tomorrow morning at 8:30 with luck, knitting can resume, after six long weeks.

I could not take another day...

Knitting On Hold

Made some socks...

 

Made some socks, toe up with the dyed yarn...

Just for a while until my hand heals, meanwhile...

And if I could figure out blogger on my tablet,  with one hand, it woul be great. Meanwhile, 🙏...

Back...

A pair a month...  that's the goal.

 

 

Ishbel - Done

I thought mistakenly that this was going to be an easy knit compared to the Nefertiti shawl that is currently awaiting new yarn. Did I mention that I contacted the Hand Maiden people and they are dyeing a skein of yarn just for me so I can finish it? I misread the pattern and simply didn't have enough yarn to finish it. So while awaiting the new yarn I started Ishbel.

I had it almost finished when I decided that it would look nicer on larger needles. So it got frogged. I restarted it last Friday night during the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Yesterday it was done and blocked.



It's currently drying on the spare bed.





It is a nice pattern.
