Hobbies no more!

Benny

Hello folks, l'm not sure if l give my name or not but anyway here goes. I have suffered with the dreaded big A for many years and now cannot look forward to one of my favourite hobbies. I loved knitting but my fingers are sore now. Still I suppose that comes with age. Anyway folks I will try to make my odd comments interesting and it's lovely to join Versus Arthritis. Bye for now.

@Benny , my philosophy has always been to take up something new and interesrimg to compensate for what I've had to give up. That way I've discovered things I never knew I'd love.

Maybe, for you, only a tweak is necessary. What about a knitting machine?
