taking a break

I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and will be having surgery this Friday, the 13th, to be followed by radiation and chemotherapy.

I'm putting out a general call for support on Friday: wear pink, and wish me well.

I may post here from time to time, as I feel inspired, but, most likely, there won't be much going on here.

You can read about and follow my journey through breast cancer on my other blog, here.

I love it when I get pics back of the recipient wearing something I knitted!

no idea why it won't come up the right way. on my hard drive, it's turned upright. but when I load it here, it flips. sorry, my boy. but you're cute as can be in that hat!

Dead Fish Hat 2

This is the second Dead Fish Hat I've finished. Started this on my way back from Seattle after Halloween, and it's taken me this long to get it finished off. Mailed it today to the recipient, so he should be seeing a cute little fat package in his mail soon.

He insisted there were not any black stripes on a Nemo sort of fish, so I went with his request.
