I haven't knitted since I began chemo either.
I keep them or give them away. Ienter them in the Canbera show each year, and have won a few 1sts and twice now have won best in my category (the horse got a 1st, champion and best overall, and my flamingo (which i don't have a photo of yet) won best in show etc in 2011. I have a number of other 1st's and 2nd's for them too (in fact i think they have nearly all won something).
I do often find it relaxing, but with my chemo brain etc I can't cope with it at present.
I just enjoy making them sometimes.
