Not manic at all really, It's been a rather a nice day, I just couldn't come up with another title 😁
I'm still knitting away on my whitmore sweater, another couple nights and I should be done with the body. I might order another small circular needle so that I can knit the sleeves at the same time, that way I can make the decreases at the same time. The sleeves on the last one I made are just a little tighter than I would like, so I'm going to keep trying it on this time and make them where I think they need to be.
I'll be going on a weekend stitching retreat soon and have been sorting out what I want to take. I'm thinking a new start might kick start my stitching mojo. I narrowed it down to two charts, Hoot in a Boot and North Pole.
I have the threads and fabric for both but I'm leaning towards taking Hoot in a Boot, It'll be a quicker stitch and with all that black stitching there will be less chance of me miss counting while chatting 😉
Isn't that Santa great though? I'm going to have to start that one as soon as I can.
I will take my Mary Margaret stitching with me too In case I fancy a change.
My MRI results came back last week and I had an appointment with the GP. I have bursitis in my hip also a small cyst and tendinopathy in my glute. There is also mild tendinopathy in my right glute. So I'ts what the first doctor I saw said it wasn't back when It all began! It's getting on for six months now when this pain began and In all the visits not one suggested this is what I could be, I had to more or less insist on the MRI otherwise It wouldn't have been suggested. At least now I know what It is and It can be fixed. I've called several times to chase up my physio appointment through the GP but have been told it could be months, so went ahead and booked one myself and was seen this morning. Before he had even read the results from the MRI he assessed me and got it spot on right away. I've now got a set of exercises and finally feel like someone has listened to what I'm saying. I'll go back again in three weeks so that he can see how I'm getting on.
Mark had his prostrate biopsy last Monday, he was told the results come back pretty quick but still not heard anything so fingers crossed that no news is good news.
I planned on a couple hours in the garden again this afternoon but it's gone very cold here again today, It's supposed to pick up tomorrow though. Mark put sharp sand on the top grass on Saturday, we did the same last year and It definitely helped with the drainage, It's not as spongy as It was last Spring. I need to get some compost and grass seed now so we can over-seed at the weekend.
There's always something to do isn't there🙄
Have a good week

It must be a reliëf knowing what is going on in your body. Hope the Physio will be a great help. And also your HB gets good news. Love the jumper you're knitting.
I am so glad that your problem has been solved and that someone finally listened. Love both those stitchery projects.
God bless.
I do like the jumper you are knitting.
Pleased you now know what your problem is and the physio is helping you. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good test result for Mark.
Enjoy the rest of your week, I think it's going to get a little cooler.
All the best Jan
Your sweater looks.gorgeous, and you're making incredibly quick progress.
I hope now that you've received a diagnosis you can get on with your treatment and see some improvement. I had a similar situation with my foot (the original diagnosis from my nurse practitioner was dismissed by the podiatrist - but it turned out he was right), and I was in pain for two years. Thankfully it's all resolved now.
I hope Mark will receive his results soon. Xx
Oh, the sweater looks fantastic, what a beautiful yoke, a great pattern.
I wish you both all the best and hope that everything will be fine soon.

Sweater's looking very good, love the pattern.. Bursitis is something I've had for years and sleep with a little pillow lifting my hip just slightly off the mattress, works for me with less pain.
Good progress on your sweater.
I'm glad you finally got some answers to your pain, Maggie. Hopefully, the exercises will kick in quickly and you'll be back to normal soon. It's always something or other as we age, it seems! Lovely progress on your sweater and I hope you end up stitching that Santa very soon--he is gorgeous! ♥
Glad you got to the bottom of your problem and have a plan for repair. The exercises will be helpful. Good luck to hubby. Mine went through that a few years back. The wkend stitching sounds fun. Save travels.
Oh my! The progress on your sweater is awesome. It will be beautiful. Both patterns are darling. The more I see that Santa one, the more I like it. Good like with the biopsy results. So sorry about the hip and glute issue. Doctors just don’t listen well to us. In their defense, I find it is very hard to describe pain. Sorry to say that we have to be our own advocates. Glad you have an answer and can work through it.
