Skilful Salute

Support my Skilful Salute

This year I will be taking on the Skilful Salute to raise vital funds for life-changing support for veterans.  

I'm taking on the challenge of learning two new skills:

1. Knitting - I've tried a few times but I've never been able to get further than a couple of very ropey lines. 

2. Playing the Ukulele - I'll be dusting off a ukulele I bought ages ago and challenging myself to finally learn to play it.  You never know, I may even be able to treat you all to a song at the end!

Here's a little bit about why I'm doing this.....

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.

Together, we can help to ensure that those who have put their lives on the line to protect us can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support.

So, my plan is to practice my knitting every morning and Ukulele every evening. For Ukulele I've started on two very basic chords which I'm practicing over and over again - not very exciting but will hopefully get them set in my head. For knitting, I'm pretty happy with my casting on now - something I have tried before never really mastered. I used to get other people to cast on for me. I've also been practicing the standard knit. Today, I'm going to start learning how to Purl. Wish me luck!!
