Love the sunny colour!

When I was having chemo, I ended up with the cannula in the back of my hand which meant I couldn't do anything useful for a couple of hours. So frustrating!

I've got a PICC line which is in the upper arm and in place for the whole treatment period so my hands are free.

I bought clothing from Porto and Bella which makes access for drips, injections, cannulas and so on much easier and modest. Not perfect designs but good. If you are well enough should be easy to adapt off the shelf clothes by inserting zips. Embrace the punk!!!!

Porto & Bello - Accessible Clothing For Medical Treatment

Accessible clothing brand designed to be inclusive. Our sweatshirts have discreet 2-way zips along the chest and arms for dialysis, chemotherapy, IV, port-a-cath and so much more

My PICC is below t-shirt sleeve length so easily accessible and I couldn't wear sweat clothes in the unit as it's flippin warm in there. Yesterday I took a personal fan and frozen water with me

Edit: not ice but a bottle of frozen water

That's cute H. I've not seen a teddy bear one before. Will you be adding embellishments or leaving as is?

Leaving as is. It's a lovely simple pattern, this is the second one I've made.

I am due a transfusion tomorrow. I never know if the room will be freezing or roasting so like my long sleeve t-shirt which is much thinner than the sweatshirts.

I’m a little confused ladies, not sure if I need specsavers but I’ve looked and looked at this from every angle and I can’t see anything that relates to a teddy bear..
please educate me as to how the finish will be..

No.
sorry, am obviously a bit thick..
I don’t get it, but never mind, will you do a photo when it’s finished?

 

[scousebird]

Of course I will

Ah, yes, now I understand, I was looking at the holes and trying to see what it was, now you’ve explained the solid bits, the penny has dropped..
thank you, will cancel specsavers..

I was doing the same

I would say great minds think alike, but now the weird thing is that I can’t unsee it now, strange how our brains interpret and see things..
you?

Totally agree, I was trying too hard to see it but now also can't unsee it.

Does anyone do Tunisian Crochet? I just got a set of hooks and have a book and yarn on order. This will be new to me but I have seen some gorgeous mosaic Tunisian Crochet so want to learn the basics before trying anything more complex.

This is the first time in a year that I have had any desire to pick up anything creative.....

I've tried it, but I was quite early in my crochet journey so I got a bit confused. I love the effects that it gives though, and will definitely try again. Kate Ambilkate had made some lovely blankets with it. Maybe she will come on and share a pic?

Bella Coco has a great instructional YouTube video - Here
