Dear Madeleine! I am so sorry to hear about your husband!

And I can very well see that creating somthing can help you! I am impressed that you did FOUR in a week, and can imagine they look fantastic!

I hav to say I envy you the yarns, of couse I can get lots yarns here, but not so many different shades. I can order it via Internet, but that is not the same as getting it when you see it!

Good luck with your further work, Madeleine; you know you'll get a chat with us, whenever you need!

I too am sorry for your loss, Madeleine. I have major surgery coming up soon and knitting/crocheting has been a lifesaver for me, it helps so much to reduce anxiety and stress.

I am just curious - because there are so many Martha poncho patterns out there right now - which one did you use? I'm assuming the LB pattern since you used LB yarn - did you use the knit pattern or the crochet one? I have been knitting lots of socks to wear in the hospital while I'm there but I'd love to make a "going home" poncho for my trip home - I think that would be a good way to keep me optimistic that I will make it through the surgery and that there

Thanks, take care Madeleine,

Viv (who has never made a poncho)

Martha,

My condolences on the loss of your husband. I am glad you have found making the ponchos good therapy for you.

Take care, BonnieBlue

Dear Madeleine! I am so sorry to hear about your husband!

I am so sorry for your loss. And staying busy creating something nice is healing.

I like Martha's Poncho! And I will probably do one too....once I finish the nightmare I'm working on now, that is.

Please, visit us often.

Hi Viv,

Sorry to hear about the loss of your husband.

Glad to hear that you are keeping yourself busy. Having something mindless right now is also a good idea.

Thanks so much, Nora, I really appreciate it!!

Hi Aud :)

I haven't posted here too much - I generally lurk - but thanks for the welcome and the good-luck wish for my surgery, I really appreciate it!!

Viv

I am so sorry to hear about your DH, Madeleine. That being said, I can certainly identify with knitting/crocheting getting you through a difficult time. My prayers are with you.

Viv, Good luck with your surgery. I know that your knitting/crocheting will help you remain relatively stress-free as you prepare for it. It always helps me at difficult times.
