Screening the breast, and knitting the blanket...
OK, so you younger gals don't go for breast screening- but you should, you know...
Anyway, I had to share this with you because I thought it was so great.
We all know that visits to the Doc', Dentist, or various clinics are great opportunities to catch up on our reading of three year old magazines...
Well, our local breast screening unit has a better idea:
They provide a basket of knitting wool, needles, and several pieces of blanket already started- you just pick one up and knit!
The pieces are all sewn together and go to various charities.
I had the best half hour wait I've ever had- how therapeutic is that?!? I haven't picked up a piece of knitting in 20 years- and you know what- I still can!
Love to all
Susan
