A TA-DA! MOMENT

The blanket is finished! 

I hope Lynsey likes it. She picked out the colors and pattern the last time I saw her way back in January. We meet up tomorrow night to celebrate her birthday at a restaurant.  She's a tall girl and likes to snuggle while watching tv so this should do the job. It's 72 rows with 8 different colors in it. The first two rows are done with just a popcorn stitch straight across. The rest of the blanket was easy peasy. The granny ripple stitch.

What a mess! It rained just about every day when the were doing all 30 foo

As for me I am a bit stressed these days so have retreated to knitting and writing. I feel somewhat better when I put myself first. I know that might sound selfish but I need to prioritize in my mind what comes first…having a heart attack or taking a break from life. Just joking. I think many of you reading this have developed coping mechanisms and strategies for dealing psychologically with life issues and unpleasant situations. I have dealt with horrible life circumstances by retreating into myself. I have suffered my whole life with social anxiety and a lack of self confidence.

He loved to laugh, sing, and was very well
