Blanket

Its been noisy here today, Betty's family have been making a start on clearing her flat so there has been a lot of banging and crashing. I know Betty kept a lot of cash in her flat so they were probably looking for that.

I went to the summer house this afternoon, Steve was out which means I get chance to talk to people. Unfortunately Steve arrived back in site whilst I was still chatting to the neighbours so he's now sulking, still it means it's quiet!

I've made a  start on turning the yarn scraps into a blanket, a lot of the yarn is very thin, probably 3 ply. Because of this I'm doubling the yarn as I work so it should be warm and it's growing quickly. There is a lot of white yarn so I'm using one strand of white and one strand of colour, it won't be a pretty blanket but it will definitely be warm.

I might back it with a brushed cotton sheet to stop any cold draughts creeping in.

Knitting with two strands often makes such lovely variegated colours.

From experience, two strands make a much cosier blanket and I love the idea of adding a liner. It sounds great for snuggling.

Sounds like you are getting lots done on the warm blanket. You sure know what you are doing!

Glad you were able to get a little chat time at least. It’s important. And your blanket will be wonderful this winter if yours has started like our weather in the northwest coast across the pond.

I’m so very sorry you have lost a dear friend. It’s that “never again” feeling isn’t. Never again to laugh/moan together, have a cuppa together… just so sad. You are going through so much at the moment, disruption and uncertainty. Sending kind thoughts. June

Hi there,

I wanted to share an important health testimonial that may help people seeking alternative treatment options. My name is Dylan Brandon from the UK. I was once a vaginal cancer and herpes patient, and at one point I was also diagnosed with a brain tumor and vaginal cancer. My doctor recommended Dr Jekawo Herbal Remedy and explained how he uses herbal medicines to treat a wide range of illnesses. At that point I was desperate and decided to contact Dr Jekawo by email after watching his documentary.

After explaining my situation, Dr Jekawo provided details about how his remedies work and how to purchase them through his website, [www.drjekawo.com](http://www.drjekawo.com). A week later the herbal medicines were shipped to me via courier. I followed the treatment for three weeks and experienced a full recovery from my brain tumor and vaginal cancer. The results were so remarkable that friends of mine with breast and prostate cancer also reached out to Dr Jekawo for treatment, and they too report being cured with his herbal medicines.

If you or someone you know is interested in contacting Dr Jekawo, his email is [drjekawo@gmail.com] and his website is [www.drjekawo.com](http://www.drjekawo.com). He states that he can treat a wide range of conditions including bladder cancer, brain cancer, HIV, herpes, esophageal cancer, gallbladder cancer, gestational trophoblastic disease, head and neck cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, intestinal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, HPV, leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma, adrenal cancer, bile duct cancer, bone cancer, multiple myeloma, neuroendocrine tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, oral cancer, ovarian cancer, sinus cancer, hepatitis A/B/C, skin cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, wart removal, lupus, spinal cancer, stomach cancer, testicular cancer, throat cancer, thyroid cancer, uterine cancer, fibroid, angiopathy, ataxia, arthritis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), fibromyalgia, fluoroquinolone toxicity syndrome, fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, Alzheimer disease, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Parkinson disease, adrenocortical carcinoma, infectious mononucleosis, vaginal cancer, and vulvar cancer.

I hope this information reaches those in need and offers an avenue to explore further options.
