Mothers venture beyond genetics into
the physics of resonating heart strings and the fuzzy realm of love.
Caring and nurturing makes the world go round. It can be done by
young and old, male and female, those with and those without
children.
Speaking of fuzzy, I'm knitted more
ankle warmers. I'm wearing mine regularly. I decided to try a pattern
called Sidekicks by Melisa McCurley and I've enjoyed using it. The
wool yarn is Luxury by Bendigo Woolen Mills. The cable pattern is not
really a cable but a twisted stitch. Knitting ankle warmers may be
addictive – as soon as I finished one pair, I started another.

| "Sidekicks" - handknit ankle warmers |
It's been brought to my attention (by Time Goes By) that
sitting for long spells takes a toll on one's health even if one
exercises regularly. Many of the crafts that I love require sitting –
handspinning at a wheel, weaving, and knitting (some people can knit
while standing, sometimes I stand when I'm weaving). In addition,
when I sit down to write, I easily lose track of time. I've used a
timer to remind myself to stand up and move around, but too often I forget to push the timer's start button. J is developing a Sitting Monitor. I
am his guinea pig. I'll let you know how things go....

Brilliant!
I can't really stand that often, but I find myself wiggling my legs, pumping my arms in the air and just answering my body's need for motion several times a day.
It's like a low, slow ache that keeps intensifying until I MOVE something. Even just jiggling my foot helps. Now I know why :-}
@Diana - I'm thinking you're going to love having access to that pool in your new living complex.
