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!

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???)

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.

At 10:00am on November 16, 2009, Granny8 said…: Hello, sorry to hear about your Dad. I will look for a pattern for chemo cap. I hope you are doing well. I'm knitting once again after about 20 years. So a lot of things are new to me also. I do want to venture out and make me a toop or something. I live in Va. I have 8 grandchildren thus the name granny8. I have made things for them and have taught 2 of them to knit for themselves. I hope to keep it going on in the gerneration. I love to hear from other knitters, I think we all have something special. The knitting has really helped me doing my bout of depression I was in for a long time. It was one thing I had control over and loved doing and still do. Thanks for answering my call for help on the scarf. Write whenever you want to, address is urprecious2@msn.com Keep me posted about your Dad.

I WENT to Bearden High School (go Bulldogs - we were O-10 my senior year). I grew up in the Airplane neighborhood (where all the streets are named for small planes - Cessna, etc.). That's so cool that you live in the Bearden area as well. It's a nice place to grow up!
