i have an idea...

When Charlie is in the hospital getting his chemo I will bring a book, some magazines and Knifty Knitter. I think you could say that I am a little hooked ;) on this gadget.


I enjoy looking for unique yarn.


Of many different colors


and textures


Mmmm... pretty purple with some sparkle


I put some away for gifts and I wear some of them too.

SO! Here is my idea... you leave a comment on this post and this Thursday I will pull a name out of a hat. During Charlie's next stay in the hospital, I will knit your scarf. I know that it is not the season to wear scarves, but you can put it away for the next Fall/Winter season.

When I pull the name out of the hat, at that time I will ask that person what color, etc. they would like.

Come on... Leave me a comment letting me know you want one. Give me something to do in the hospital. Help me feel like I am still a part of this blogging community.

  13. The blogger gremlins got me yesterday. I tried to leave a comment, and for some mysterious reason it is gone.

    Our youngest daughter is a knitter and does some fantastic work. I love the scarf she knit for me.

    You can see her latest work here.

    The gist of the comment was to leave this link for you.

    Give our best to Charlie.

  15. I love your blog and have been praying for your family. I would love to have a scarf... even in sunny Florida it does get chilly. I just love handmade things and am ususally the one making them for others.

    Whenever I have had a loved one in the hospital I have taken hand work with me. Fabric yo yo's are a fun project...
