I've Made Friday Week 35

I hope everyone is having a good week.

I'm still ill I'm afraid.

I knew I would get worse after my brothers wedding

but he is hopefully only going to get married

once.

It will take me at least a couple of weeks to clear

this infection but hopefully I'll get there.

If I rest enough it should clear.

I'll just have to be careful as they have been known to drag

on for 6 weeks.

The infection is viral (as usual) so there isn't anything the doctor can give me.

I have an infection that sits in my nose and my sinuses.

It doesn't react to antibiotics

so it's always there lying in wait for me to get even more run down

and then it spreads.

I just have to be careful if it spreads to my chest because

then I have to go on steriods to keep my asthma under control.

Anyway enough about my illnesses. 

I've had such fun making this week:

I've made my mittens from the pattern:

And I've designed a Penguin Cocoon

 The pattern & the finished items are either available as a sepearte cocoon pattern

or as a set with the matching hat:

I'm still not up to reading so there isn't a book to review yet.

Fingers crossed for next week!

Other news is I got runner up in the London Wools competition.

It's the first competition I've entered so I'm really chuffed.

Now it's your turn.

Show us what you've been making.

It doesn't have to crocheted.

Anything you have made is brilliant to see.
