All the balls up in the air

Hello stranger, yes it's me! All my balls are up in the air and I'm juggling frantically!
Seems to be more of a yearly thing to write than a weekly or monthly thing, sorry!
I've been doing a lot of cleaning and clearing around the house.
And I'm now committed to finishing a lot of worthy UFO's.
So at least I can then let myself start some nice new stuff, there is more to knit and crochet than I can ever achieve in this lifetime, but I won't give up trying!
Had a lot of fun making little woven squares from scraps of wool from my stash, and then crocheting edges, sewing them all togehter and adding a little footsack, which resulted in a wheelchair lapblanket for a darling old lady.

And something peculiar happened, I even made myself a broomstick lace long cardi-tunic. I never make or keep anything for myself, here it is on the right.
Once again this summer I was in Karpathos Greece to teach Do-In. Meridian yoga as it were. and it was a joy without end. In Greece I swam and snorkeled every day and really truly loved that to bits. Coming back was a bit of a bugger.
Struggling is becoming a system of survival but the joy of knitting still remains of course, and crochet as well. And oh joy, earlier in the year someone found me a lovely second hand Ashford traditional spinning wheel, so I've now added that to the mix too, still very much an amateur, but not doing bad with the spinning and twining!
I've always been so in love with my house, but this year the idea of selling and moving is solidifying daily in my system.
At least at my moving party I can do a big sale of knitting books and part of my stash. Because the idea is to move in somewhere just a tad smaller.
The goal is to found a ground floor apartment or somewhere in an apartment with an elevator, as I no longer have cartilage in my knees and the stairs are becoming non-productive. Also for the clients I must add. So fingers and all other available body-parts crossed on that issue.
On the upside I have lost 25 kilos over the last two years, very proud of that, but not done at all with the weight loss.

Doing very elderly-like gym at my physio is keeping me together and that works for now.

It was the 5th b-day anniversary of WOOOL this year. So proud of contributing sometimes and so great to see Pauline make it all work!
Left is a cardi I made for Sis, fit like a dream, and all cotton as she is more allergic than me!
So you see I still have found time to keep my hands busy, apart from my several jobs and other odd errands around about.
I'll keep you posted on what is to come, please send me your support and blessings, and come visit if you want a treatment or just a nice gab over a cup of tea!
