Life Can Be Crazy Sometimes
Posted on | December 20, 2006 | 15 Comments
It seems like with all has been happening lately, it feels like forever since my last post! I don’t like to mention personal things here too much, but there have been some major health issues with my fiance’s Mom and my Grandfather and Grandmother both fell in the same week. Luckily Grandpa was ok (just a few stitches on the noggin), but Grandma didn’t fare as well and had to have a pin put in her hip last week. She is in good spirits, but she’ll be in therapy for 6-8 weeks. Just way too much to deal with so close to the holidays!
Then I have my year end rush to get my two maternity knit projects out on time. The first is due January 2nd, the other on January 9th. I would love to get them both off before I leave for Jersey on Friday, but I’m not sure that is going to happen.
And to make up for my spotty posting lately, here’s some luscious yarn pics:
I apologize for the slightly blurry pictures, it’s the crappy work camera!
Lanas Puras worsted in Margarita – for my next design for One Planet
Lanas Puras fingering in Camoflauge (go to the site for a MUCH better picture – the color is gorgeous!)
Some 2 ply cashmere Lis handdyed
And last but not least:
Some more roving to practice my hand spinning
Happy Holidays everyone!

Happy holidays! I hope everyone in your family gets better soon.

Oh poor grandma! I hope everyone makes a speedy recovery and that everyone is a-ok again soon.
You CAN do it (re: the deadlines). You knit under some seriously tight deadlines before and come out the victor each time so I have total faith in you.
And yes, when there’s nothing else to post, nothing beats some good ol’ yarn pr0n. ;)
Have a great holiday!

Hey, Melissa! My best wishes for health and recovery to your family. I’m curious to know about these maternity projects. Are they for a book? I think a book of maternity knits is long overdue, so I do hope so!
