I don't feel bad about not posting, but I hate falling behind on reading your posts. However, it was quite a week. Keith had cataract surgery on Tuesday (and it was very successful). Then my mom fell and broke her arm on Thursday. She has severely torn rotator cuffs, so I've been helping her with dressing, meals, even bathrooming. I hope to have help hired tomorrow.
I've only been able to finish up some simple UFOs. First was a pair of fingerless mitts for Keith. He chose to go with this color rather than have me buy more yarn. Go figure. The pattern is Maize by Tin Can Knits. If I make it again, I'd flip the knit and purl stitches so it would have more knits.
I hope to have time this week to catch up with all of you!
Sorry about your mom, I hope she heals quickly. And so glad the cataract surgery went well.
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom heals soon. How hard on her and you. Love the color of the mitts. That is a lot of purling. That would be a great pattern to do Portuguese knitting on. Thebhat looks super warm and cuddly. Your drawing turned out great.
ReplyDeleteHope your mom will soon be on the mend! Cataract surgery is amazing; things brightened up after I had it. Glad you DH did it, too. Love all your knitting projects and the painting. You are one talented gal. Oh, and good job on the walk in the freezing cold; today we cut our walk short because it was pouring!
ReplyDeleteYour sketch looks great. I hope your Mom will be better soon Old bones (like mine) take awhile to heal. The knitting looks great. I especially like the yarn in that hat.
ReplyDeleteMay your Mom have a speedy recovery. I know she is happy to have you close by to help when you can. The hat looks fabulous: the yarn looks very soft.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! Sorry to hear about your Mom - hope her recovery is speedy. Yay for cataract surgery!! I had both of my eyes done this past summer and what a difference. Love your knitting. The hat looks super soft. Hope you can have an easy week!
ReplyDeleteOh, your poor Mom! I hope she heals quickly -- and that you're able to hire the help she needs. (It's always something, isn't it?) I'm glad the cataract surgery was a success. Your knitting is lovely (and that hat looks like a dream). Always love your sketches!
ReplyDeletehurray for successful eye surgery and boo to your mom breaking her arm, yay to you helping her too! Sounds like a lot going on and I hope you get some time to catch your breath!
ReplyDeleteI can sympathize with your Mom--it is very painful and terribly hard to be independent with a broken arm! The extra details of your drawing are top-notch!
ReplyDeleteThat is an eventful week. I hope your Mom heals quickly!
ReplyDeleteThe hat and mitts look great, and I always love your doodles.
Oh, dear....what a week you had. Great projects and your sketches are always a joy to behold. Tackling bookcases? Amazing!
