    About

    I have been diagnosed with essential tremors and chronic fatigue and Fibromaglia for a number of years, this has halted me for doing any crafts for a number of years. This was a log cabin knitted squares which was my first attempt in 2 years of starting any project.

    My illness has led me to suffer from depression and through out this time crafting has not been possible. But since joining a local craft group and gaining some confidence I have managed to start knitting and crocheting again. I can NOT say what anew lease of life this has given me. My depression has been much better and being able to craft again has been a huge part of my medication being reduced.

    Essential tremours mean you shake all the time and I just woke up with this Illness and some days can't even feed myself. So being able to do any crafting is such a GREAT REWARD and therpy for my depression.

    Measurements

    Notes: I had to make squares to get the size I required. I would like to have made it better bigger but it hung nicer at the end of the single bed. Or I used it for a throw over my legs at night if chilly.
    The measurements are width 46 inches X 48 inches
