Coming soon for the Mother in law….homespun crocheted fan shawl. I have 8 skeins of homespun in a deep red color so I think if I use them all I will have a nice LARGE shawl for her to wear in her bed. Li’l bit of background; she has had diabetes for over 30 years, never dealt with it until she went blind 10 years ago. In the last year she has had a kidney transplant, major open heart surgery, an artificial heart valve installed, a pacemaker put in then promptly removed 5 weeks later after an insane infection (she was the only person in the state of CA to have the infection at that time), been to & from UCLA to Santa Barbara 3 times, um….what else….oh! She may or may not have had multiple strokes in the meantime. So now she is in a convalescent hospital trying to recover to get home to Solvang but things aren’t going as quickly as she would like. So while she is in bed I thought it would be nice for her to have some thing cuddly to snuggle with. And what better than a homespun shawl??? My plans are to start it & take it on the plane to Idaho, work on it & finish it on the trip. Not that I would be the least bit surprised if I didn’t get one iota done on it.
Okay enough of that talk. I think I will go get ready for knitting tonight. I have to decide what project to take & it’s not too tough of a choice. The bag, since I can knit & talk in the round no problem!
