Long Overdue

It's been a looooong time since I was able to sit down and update here. Things have been more than a little crazy at our house. In November, we learned that our DS had another recurrence of the cancer he's been battling since 2001. He's doing well and is a little over 1/2-way done with his radiation treatments, but the daily trips to the hospital are quite time-consuming. So, not much time left for "playing."

HOWEVER, with the good use we've made of the waiting rooms @ the hospital, I've managed to knock off a few projects. I'm nearly done w/ the top-down tunic sweater I'm knitting. I'd have been done w/ it by now, but I had to rip it back a good bit & re-knit the bottom of it. I knit it too short, and since the sides have slits knit into them, well, that meant ripping all the way back past the slits. *sigh*

But I digress ... lemme post a few pics of the items that are done ... first of all, here's the Tiny Einy I knit for my DD ... still needs buttons, but we haven't gotten to that yet:

And, just a cute little photo strip of my DD modeling the hat I knit for our church's Giving Tree ... I've nicknamed it "Twisty Twirl Me"

Oh Julie, I'm so sorry to hear that. Hugs to you and your dear son! I hope that he makes a very quick recovery and that this is the last time you have to deal with a recurrance of the cancer. Your family will be in my thoughts.

Your sweater and hat are beautiful!

Julie! Hiya Love. I am glad to hear that things are progressing positively so far. I continue to send up prayers for the whole family.
Your knitting, as always, is beautiful!
Tell that DD of yours that she is very pertyful!
