hectic 2 days and knitting(or not) to Cumbria

its been hectic past 2 days. What with going up to see mum. I tried knitting on way there but no good. velvet coat didn't help needles move smoothly and occasional bumpy road made it worse so no more travel knitting for the moggie:) Mum is ok after fall thank goodness. Long day from 9am to 6pm when we got home. I was really sore. . Knitting tonight I hope, the 2ply shawl almost finished and I want to get done now. Haven't blocked before but this will need it so have to check on ukhk how to do so. Don't want to ruin now I'm almost done and I don't iron normally unless its to fix dyes. Well have you ever heard of cats ironing? I don't think so:)) We much prefer doing arty crafty stuff.
