New blogpost tonight!

We Interrupt Our Regular Scheduled Blog Posting.......

This past Tuesday, my father in law was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer w/ mets to his ribs, chest wall and lymph nodes. All of the sudden, socks have taken the backburner and I'm frantically searching the internet for a man's chemo cap. He starts chemo this Friday, Nov. 13th and radiation on Monday, Nov. 16th. I am open to any pattern suggestions you may have and appreciate any and all prayers!

When I've finished tidying up I will come back and look at your blog as I'm always interested to see what other people have made. Barbara

i am 150 miles from NYC, so no we wont go.... my parents are both from nyc, (moved here when i was 4)so we used to go back to visit family in nyc every holiday, as a kid. I miss that, but there is no one left in NY!

what r u making? i am just making a pie today, for tomorrow. My dad said dont do anything else - which is good, since i am sure i will have to make a turkey dinner for dh for home, lol.

yesterday i made homemade ice cream, it was so decadent!!! But, it's not turkey, so it was not good enough for him, lol.

I cook turkey and chicken dinners all year long, i am big into cooking. So i dont really want it on some goofy 'special' day, LOL> OH well, i got outvoted, my brother's new lady friend is coming so my parents are doing a turkey dinner after all. It will be nice to see everyone at least! (but i do that every sunday too, LOL so what is the big deal???)

what about you?are you cooking or visiting or both?

At 6:51am on November 23, 2009, Jenny said…: SOCKS! oh i have so much sock yarn, so many socks started, but none finished, LOL. i do love socks so much, so someday i will make a pair, lol. where are the videos you mentioned? are you doing DPNs, 2 circs, or ML? i have many books if you want reviews :-)

At 8:54am on November 21, 2009, Jenny said…: I am so glad he is coping. pls tell him, for what it's worth, that a pathetic goofball in NYS is rooting for him, and shooting "arrow prayers" his way!!

my eyes are getting better and better every day. i know it will never be back to what it was, but good enough is good enough for me!! thanks!!

what are you working on now??

At 1:55pm on November 20, 2009, Jenny said…: Hi AMy!! Help me out, i dont know if i can find your cap!! I see a new blue knit cap, not fuzzy yarn - is that it? If not, great job on that one anyway!!! let me know, and let me know how your dear dad in law is doing!!!!!

I have yet to knit a single sock! Though I did make some monster dolls, and they said "make the back feet like you would a sock", so I guess I've *flirted* with sock making a bit. I hope you can find the time to take the class. Think of it as something for your soul!

Just a thought.
