Virus
Holed up at home with a virus. Have had a sore throat since Sunday, the aches and pains have gone, but very tired still, back to doctor today as certificate ran out yesterday.
Perfect knitting weather and I can't seem to stick with it. Only 2/3 of another cushion side done in 2 days

A Corner
So I decided on a cushion with rectangular sides. Being one who hates sewing things up had to figure a way to do the corners. On the first side I picked up the stitches and when it came to connecting to the other piece I picked up the stitches on the second piece at the same time as knitting a row effectively knitting them together then cast off. Second side picked up stitches again and when got the corner picked up a stitch from the existing side to join them. From then on when reaching the corner I slipped the last stitch and picked up again on the existing side and slipped the slipped stitch over it and wallah a corner all connected. Not bad for a day when my attention span seemed to last about 5 seconds. Eg. Went into town to the library, left the library card at home came back to get, went into the library and had left the card in the car. Sure my Mum must think I'm losing the plot sometimes.
Been pretty stressed about my car, which has cost quite a bit lately. Is 7 years old but not yet 100k on the clock and been serviced regularly to avoid the very situation we've just had to endure. Three times back to the dealer to find the issues,in the end with the service manager looking after it personally. With instructions not to give it back till it was right, still things we had to do that should have been done by them. Stuff that I had brought up years ago that probably could have been fixed under warranty,and now I've had to pay for, not impressed .

This was to be a baby blanket, but I lost my way and didn't do the squares in the exact order required so Frogged back to a small square and did another with the aim to make a cushion
A Box of squares and hats ready to go to South Africa, just need to raise the funds for postage
