Brenda1946

My name is Brenda1946. I  am 74 at present 75 in March.  I had a stroke in 2014 then fell whilst recovering broke my hip and dislocated my shoulder. As a result i have very little use down my left side but dispite that still manage to knit, go to a knitting group, craft group and colouring group before the virus.  Would love to be able to go swimming again

Hi @Brenda1946 and welcome to our online community.

How are you doing today?  Are you coping with the lockdown okay and keeping well?

You've been through an awful lot since 2014 and I really admire you carrying on with your hobbies.  Let's hope it's not too long before you can get swimming again.

Hi @Brenda1946 - & welcome to this friendly community, Brenda. It sounds like you're doing amazingly well despite it all. I've also had a broken hip, & that on it's own took some getting over....! Swimming is a great activity, so hope you'll be able to take this up again in the not too distant future.

Hi @Brenda1946 and welcome to the community! That sounds like a great list of hobbies. Is there anything in particular that you enjoy knitting?

I like all types of knitting.  I knit all sorts of things, i sometimes download a pattern if i like it and think i might knit it somewhere along the line.  I am knitting a shrug for my friends granddaughter as she doesn't knit, i have done one in white and now one in black.  Trying to knit 3 different catus's to go towards her birthday present.
