Yarn Along

The secret knitting continues but there has been much progress.  I took this past weekend to just chill and knit.  There comes a point where you just need to hibernate and so I did.

In the wee hours of this morning my oldest grandson suffered a critical asthma attack.  After 3 breathing treatments at home, my son in law, who has a paramedic background, called 911.  I know that must have been a hard call to make.  He is home now and I would like to say resting, but the steroids have him bouncing all over the place.  I'm keeping him here tomorrow and between myself and my youngest daughter, we two nurses should be able to handle him:)))

My reading continues to be wedding guest lists.  I have finally found an app that I can import the list into and manage the seating chart from my iPad.  Must. Love. Technology.

If you remember a few weeks ago I updated you on the condition of my friend, Elizabeth DeHority.  Her condition continues to worsen and finally I have been put in touch with someone to help me with the raffle.  In the next few days I will post all that here.  Those socks and her yarn above plus a matching Drawstrings bag will go to a lucky winner!

Yarn Along

Yes, that top picture is the same from last week.  Little knitting has happend.  My last blog post will tell you why.

But in the background I have spent hours on Ravelry, hours pouring over my knitting library, and today hours in my LYS.  You see I am planning a special gift.  Usually I know exactly what I want when knitting for someone else, but this time I literally hit a block.  And part of the problem is I can't share with anyone because it is a surprise. So all the suggestions and inspiration I would look for just aren't there.

I thought I knew 3 times what I wanted.  Three times I began the project and 3 times I changed my mind.  Crazy!

But today I made a final decision and will stick with it. It's all you will see for a while.  I hope you'll keep coming back.  Because of your patience there might even be a little prize at the end:)))
