It is finished

 The blanket I have been working on is finished. I am not sure if I will put a border around this one. I'm thinking I might just leave it as it is. The edges do look tidy, and I really don't feel like adding anything more to it. I have thought more about the use of colour on this blanket, and as you will see in the picture, I have stuck to a pattern for the colors. I had fun picking out different cables, and if you look closely, you will see that some of the cables are used more than once. That was deliberate on my part. I didn't really want to do a plain middle, and I like working cables. 

Chlorine

 We now have chlorine in our water. No one wanted it added, we didn't need it added as our water was good. It has been a government mandated policy with no thought for the people affected, or if it was even needed. Since it has been added, I have had an upset stomach. I don't like the taste of my coffee, I also don't like the taste of the water. So, we are buying bottled water, which isn't really good, as it is in plastic bottles. 

At least I can still do my knitting. I am working the last panel of my framed blanket. I think it's the last panel, anyway. I have put more thought into the use of colours in this blanket than I have with the others. I am also making this as a lap blanket, which I know isn't needed at this time of year for us, but will be really nice next winter. Then I will do some more work on my next Iona. Again, I am thinking more about the use of colour. I am trying to keep the background colour the same, either white, or a slight cream colour. I've only done three squares, and I like that as the background as I think it lets the main colour shine more.

Just rambling

 I haven't written anything for a while, because life keeps getting in the way. Husband keeps scaring me with health problems - his heart mostly. He seems to have hit a certain age, and has almost convinced himself that his heart is no longer working properly. Even though he has been to the hospital and had tests, and nothing has shown up, he is still convinced there is something wrong. I have to wonder if this is tied to the growth on his kidney that we still have heard nothing about. I don't sleep very well anymore, partly because I am always expecting him to say something is wrong, and he needs to go to the hospital again. I know he is okay, but how do I convince him?!?!? It is really scaring me, and I truly don't know what to do to reassure him that everything is really okay.
