stash, knit, repeat

Fondling yarn since 2003.

Milestones

Amidst a very sad weekend*, I finished all of the knitting on the tangled yoke cardigan.

It just needs some ribbon and jewelry to finish it off.

Up next is holiday knitting, and I’d really better get zooming on that. My list, as usual, is gigantic. Also as usual, I’ve forgotten all about the holidays until November. Wish me luck!

*(My aunt Terri, Lois’ eldest daughter and my dad’s older sister, passed away today at the age of 60. We found out she had cancer a couple of weeks ago. If you’re willing to send some warm thoughts, prayers, positive energy, etc. to my family and especially my grandfather, I’d greatly appreciate it.)

    I’m so sorry :( I’m sending warm thoughts to you and your family.

    You’ve still got time for the Christmas knitting. It’s only the beginning of November… although Panera was playing Christmas music when I was there and it was freaking me out.

    Oh how sorry I am for your family. 60 really isnt that old is it, but one consolation is that she doesnt need to suffer anymore, although the rest of her family will without her. Hugs to you all through your grieving time.

    gorgeous sweater! I loved that sweater since the day I first saw it in IK. It’s a little beyond my skill level at the moment though, so I have to be satisfied just to see other knitters beautiful FOs!

  31. Johanna November 5th, 2007 7:42 pm

    It’s time for some sunshine in your life. I’m so sorry to hear about your aunt. It’s always sad when people leave before their time.

    Your sweater, on the other hand, is beautiful of course. I can’t wait for the modeled pics!
