Hope you are well now Hazel:)
Oh yes I am, that never happened again and the only thing that the multitude of tests showed was stress & that showed in my blood work....I would never have thought that could be found in that way. o_O
Mind you i'll never be 'balanced' in any other way...:rolleyes:::bigsmile:

Hi Stephen Out of curiosity I had a look at the website and came to the conclusion it was weird!! With so many lovely things to crochet, especially in amigurami, my view is this is a waste of talent. Just saying.

Wonder how Twitter found you:LOL:

Sounds like you did yourself a proper mischief when you collapsed.
At least when I collapsed just over a year ago I was already sitting down, but before a sat down Robert says I was talking utter rubbish, well more than usual.:LOL:
I knew I wasn't well because the ambulance crew were not being cheeky...o_O I am fine and it has never happened again.
I hope you get rid of yours soon, it sounds like you will.
I’m so sorry I mean to comment on this and got distracted then forgot.
It must have been terrifying. But good news that you’re ok now and have had no recurrence.

I know less than nothing about this - but somehow* it appeared on my twitter feed...
Might be an interesting challenge & a change from the usual:

Thanks for that Steve. The Venus Godess figure is worshipped in Glastonbury.

Nice little earner there for some of our ladies. :)

Your fine....I still bounce off of things, just not for the same reason, now it's because of MS......but on the other hand the vertigo could have been a symptom, i'll never know that. ;)

I found out a little more about using wadding in cot quilts. Someone in my quilting group said the baby gets overheated and the thinking is that could be a factor/responsible for cot deaths. This ex nurse said she wishes more quilters were aware of this. I'm glad I 'interfered' when I did.

I’m just so glad I found out before I gave the quilt as a gift.

That led to the " back to sleep" campaign--- babies are put on their back in the Vit, with their feet at the foot of the cot. That was they can't wriggle down under bedding and lose more heat on their backs.
Was told the opposite in the 70s, wrap the baby and put him/her on their side or front.
I understand the SIDS number have dropped where the 'back to sleep' advice is given and followed.

I trained nursery nurse in the early 70’s but had never heard of this method either until my sons little boy was born and we went to see him when they were home from hospital and saw them put him in his cot I questioned why he was placed like that and they said that was what the hospital recommended.

Once you know about it it makes sense but like you we were trained to wrap the baby up then place either on their front or on their side. I believe it was if they were sick they wouldn’t choke.

I suffer from an odd type of migraine and was told to lie on my back with feet on a foot board (or lie the "wrong way" in bed with feet on the headboard if there was no foot board). It does make a huge difference :)

Martin's socks almost complete - I am using the wool I had left over from two other sock projects but as they are only welly socks that doesn't matter. My son and daughter in law both like the socks so much they have asked me to make them a pair each. I got them to draw round their feet and do the other measurements plus note where they usually wear out socks. I have told them that Martin's new sweater takes priority so it might be next autumn before they are done (maybe a Christmas pressie!)

Not been reading or joining in the thread becaue of my wrist injury,
Good news it seems to be much better and at last I can knit again, not sure it is up to the different movement for crochet though. Have now almost finished the back of John.s jumper which I started about 3 years ago, lost the pattern for ages, finally sourced one on the net, then original turned up. he swears he didn't hide it, perhaps Joy @movan and I are sharing a gremlin. Just got all the rest to do now. Hope I manage before he turns up his toes at this rate he will be 80 before I get it done :ROFLMAO:

Lol @scotzsue ... great minds and all that. I just sought out a pattern I had misplaced that I bought at one of the Crafty Meets in Lincolnshire or threabouts. Been on the internet struggling to find the wool as want to give it a go. Really can't afford the specified wool .. need to go to a wool shop . Found a supplier of acceptable alternative but I don't have paypal. :(

Must be something in the air making us all pick up our needles .
