update on my health and sanity

Thank you for the many cards, prayers and good wishes from my RCTQ friends. It has been very encouraging to know there are so many people that care.

I am gaining strength each week. Next week I start cardiac rehab. After 2 1/2 weeks in the hospital and another 3 weeks laying around the house my entire body is seriously in need of rehab. This is the fourth email I have written this morning and then I will have to take a nap.

I found that sitting at the sewing machine is especially tiring. Knitting has become my sanity saver. The project can't be too complicated so I am alternating between a simple cardigan for my grandson and American Girl Doll clothes to donate to a charity craft sale this fall.

My guild show is this week end. My husband is taking my quilts to the check-in this evening. Fortunately the show location is only a few blocks from my house. I plan to go for an hour during the afternoon then come home and nap before returning again in the evening. Must be careful not to stand around and talk too much.

I am up to 7 sweaters, 2 afghans, 3 pair of socks, and a shetland shawl. If you fancy something new, this looks simple and fun:

It's a bear done in chunky yarn. It looks to be one of the nicest bears for knitting I have recently found. I went looking because it occured to me that a bear or something like it would do well in the eyelash yarn that has been kicking around here forever. I actually had to buy yarn to finish off the last afghan, so I wanted something to use what I already have. Somebody gave that box of eyelash yarn some time ago, and I've never figured out what to do with it.

thanks NM! I knit lots of bears for the women's shelter (every child gets a bear), and sometimes people give me chunky yarn. My fave pattern so far would make a humonguous bear in chunky -just not on.

I have used the eyelash yarn for bears, and it worked really well. D>>
