In May 2016 ,I decided to restrict my calorie intake because of health reasons.While on this diet I realized that while watching television in the evening ,especially if whatever was on TV was something I didn't especially like ,my taste buds would become demanding and it was hard not to pay attention to them .Earlier I had purchased a skein of Malabrigo Sock yarn in Rayon Vert colourway,so I bought the pattern Herald from Janina Kallio and started knitting in the evenings while watching television .So far I have knitted 8 different shawls in different patterns and colourways and have several more to go having bought several different skeins from LoveKnitting .I have so far lost more than 11 KG /25 LB.,knitting has a calming effect on me and I don't particularly ,mind if my husband is watching something on TV I don't like because I knit.
Knitting has also kept my sanity for the last several months because although I live in Canada we were barraged on the news with the US Election.
