ONE DOWN, ONE TO GO!

WW for Gracie

I feel like Penny! (You know who you are!) I finished this Wonderful Wallaby for my little ONE-year-old niece in ONE WEEK! (I’m thinking of renaming mine the ONE-derful Wallabies!) Of course, nothing I make can go smoothly. I made the mistake of reading the directions wrong and knitting up a really large adult-sized hood for it — man, that just looked weird wrong! But searches on this ONE-derfully helpful internet showed me how to just cut the danged thing off and find the yarn end so I could redo it with the correct size. Now I have to make a second one, in blue, for her twin brother.

KNITTING FOR AMY

 

Amy chemo hat
I just finished my second chemo hat for another friend undergoing chemo. Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer this past March. Due to her fabulous ability to micromanage, she has already completed a double mastectomy, the first stage of reconstruction, and her first round of chemo. This is a beautiful photo of her this past July. Amy is dear to my heart and a constant inspiration to me.

Love you, Sparky!
