Katie Taylor is Ireland's greatest-ever athlete, and I'm so thankful she gets to walk away on her own terms. A warrior, a winner and a woman whose pride in her country and her sport was never in doubt or besmirched. We will never see the likes of her again.

One of the biggest things I've noticed, post treatment, surgeries etc, is the time it takes me to bounce back. A busy day or a late night has me absolutely wiped out. My bounceback ability is severely impaired. 😴

My sister's bday present is my current #wip. After I finish that front bit it's just the sleeves and that's it! ('Just' the sleeves lol 🤣) According to my niece, her Mam is gonna love it! 🧶 💜 First time doing short rows so I'm pretty happy with adding that to my skill set too . #Knitsky #Knitting

Photo of current knitting project. The pattern is Tom Daleys Balloon Cardigan in Debbie Bliss Nell, colour Ruby. The back panel and two front panels are shown,  with the left panel about two thirds complete.

My post chemo hair is wild, sticking out all over the place! 🙆🏻 So I decided to use my new skill and knit myself a hairband. 1st time using 3mm needles so I think my hair will be halfway down my back by the time I finish this. However, I do love how this linen stitch comes out! #Knitsky #Knitting 🧶

Another biiiiig lesson today. 🧶 I waited way too long to try this on and now I'm going to have to frog the whole thing. It's way too big. But I'm OK with that, I enjoyed the actual knitting regardless and I'll just try again, after triple checking measurements next time. 💛 #Knitsky #Knitting
