Bin Monster!

My dad had a diabetic hypo on Thursday, three in total. One on Thursday morning, one Thursday evening and another Friday morning. His blood sugar levels were going up to about 11.0 and in the space of 15 minutes, they were dipping to 1.1 and lower. They think that they have managed to get him stabilised now and his blood sugar levels are now staying high (he is not on any of his diabetic medication because the doctors thought that it was safest for him to do that than him have any more hypo's). He has become really confused and aggressive now. Last night he asked how the dog was, we told him that she died on New Year's Eve (he had already been told this, I phoned him in hospital the night she died), and he said "no, I mean Lucky". Our dog, Lucky, died about 12 years ago. He also started to offer us some grapes, but he had no grapes there. Mum tried to discuss it with some of the nurses, but they were not sure if it was normal or not, so she is going to speak with the doctor today.

Anyway, I forgot to make up the monster in the bin. I was just too tired to get some stuffing out and make it up. I'll get some another day and make it up.

I am making a rabbit at the mo. I found a pattern that tells you how to make a rabbit out of a square of knitting. I am intrigued if it really works or not. The pattern can be found here.

I also want to knit a sock. I don't know why, but I do. Oh dear! Help me!

I also knit a pencil bookmark on Friday (pattern here). I used bamboo needles for the first time. They were hard to use at first, but I have become used to them now.

My mum is knitting my Aunt a dressing gown/bed jacket for her birthday. However she needs to knit it quickly so she has to knit it in front of her, so it is "my cardigan"! Just a bit of stupidity for a Monday!

I have become a nettle tea addict...

Oh dear!

I have to go. Bunny knitting calls!
