THE FHG SEWING THREAD :-D

[ilove2patch]

As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

I'm afraid I'm not as accomplished as Kitten, so I did need a pattern :8}

[ilove2patch]

No you don't always get headaches with it.

Ah! According to that mine is migraine with aura (but without the migraine!) because I get it in both eyes at the same time.:-)

[chickengrandma-2008]

Usually I get it on the right hand side and it slowly moves right across to the left and then disappears.  This one came on on the left, stayed on the left and then disappeared.:-)

[ilove2patch]

Mine is both eyes without headache too. Snap!

Me accomplished?  You must be joking :^O  That cushion is brilliant.  Can you imagine the mess I'd make if I attempted that.  I can only knit and purl and that's a bit of a struggle.

Those optical migraines are horrible.  I once got one whilst driving and had to stop until it passed, usually last around 20mins or so.  Starts with flashing zig zags which just get bigger and bigger.  I once found a brilliant visual description of them.  Showed exactly what happens.  If I can find it again, I'll post the link.

[chickengrandma-2008]

All knitting patterns are only ever knit and purl, the clever bit is knowing what order to do them in and how many to work at once etc. :^O

[kitten347]

Think I might have found that visual description of those migraines

:^O  I can't follow a pattern though CG

[ilove2patch]

That is similar to what I get Kitten but I would say mine is all over my vision & comes on quite quickly. They last from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. A problem if you are driving or in the middle of a busy supermarket!

[chickengrandma-2008]

Similar in the moving back and forth but mine are only silver, no colours (I don't think) finer, not as wide, and not the complete circle, only an arc across the top.  I've never had one while driving.  I've only ever had about a dozen in my life.

[ilove2patch]

Your right CG. They aren't coloured are they. I do get them pretty much all over or mostly on the right.

[kitten347]

No mine are just silver.  Not had one for quite a while.  Hope I never get one when I'm "crafting".  It could turn out a right old mess with bits where they shouldn't be :^O

[chickengrandma-2008]

Priceless!:^O

😮 Almost a coffee on the keyboard moment then ....... thank goodness I'd just put my mug down :^O:^O

[wizilizi]

Gawd, I get that jiggling vision when a migraine is starting - it is rare that I can stop it, unless I am able to go straight to sleep.  Even then, it's not guaranteed.  I hate it

[wizilizi]

Oops, sorry - I shouldn't be here.  I can't sew 😐  Mending's my limit - & even then the technique's questionable 😞

[cat-knitter]

Thats ok Wizi ....... your allowed to visit :-x

I don't sew either  ....... & that Numpty well she doesn't sew or knit ............ or even own a Cat but we let her live here 😉

[cat-knitter]

Sez me ............. who forgets I don't own a Cat now either 😞

[huggles1253]

I'm not usually here now with you nocturnal lot!

[huggles1253]

So when are you getting your Bengal? Can I be catmother?
