Arrgghhh, I've been working on a cardigan on and off for the past 8 months (I'm a slow knitter). I finished the sleeves and they were too wide, so frogged them, then they were too tight, so frogged them again, now just finished them for the third time, thought I was happy and tried it on and they look like ridiculous balloons on my arms! So guess what... got to frog again! Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed making this cardigan and people keep telling me just to go with the flow but I want to make something I am super happy with! To make matters worse, this is technically my practice cardigan! I have some red yarn I love that I want to use to make a cardigan after this current one, if I ever finish it at this rate... I want my sleeves to be more tapered so got to figure that out and trying not to feel too defeated. Anyway, thank you for reading my rant!

My grandparents came to visit me today and we had a lovely catch up. I feel so grateful for them being there for me and for everything they have done throughout my life. When my father left in my early teenage years, they took on the role that he neglected. I will always be thankful for having them in my life.

I have been off work on the sick for a while due to struggling with my health and I am so thankful for everyone who has been there for me every step of the way, especially my boyfriend, Mum and my closest friend. Whether I needed someone to cry on, listen to my worries, a hug, a meal cooking, my dog being walked or simply advice on how to remain sane during my time off, they were there, no matter what. I love you all.
