If you are a Hunter Hammersen fan, her patterns are on sale til the end of the day (eastern time), so pick out the ones you want!
Also, her new book will ship soon, so if you wanted to get it on sale, now is the time!!!
Sydney got another checkup after reducing some of her meds. Her red blood cells are holding steady, so I’m very excited. We stopped on the way home to buy her a plain vet-approved Sonic burger to celebrate!
Well, my girl’s home and she seems ok. She’s not up to her fighting weight (needs go gain about 7 pounds.) Are you as jealous of that as I am? :) We have taken a couple of walks to the end of the street, but no farther. It seems so crazy for her to be lagging behind after a half mile. The two miles we used to walk never seemed to slow her down. The vet is most worried about the muscle loss.
See? Poor poor Sydney! So, he’s still researching that, but in the meantime, she seems like she’s gonna live, so I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all the positive thoughts and prayers. If you would like to keep them up, we’d really appreciate it!!
While waiting on her to get tests at the vets, I’ve worked on a sock while alone in the exam rooms. It seems terribly morbid being that it’s a plain black sock, but actually, it was exactly what I needed:
1. Mindless knitting.
2. Pattern that The Husband is willing to wear.
3. Using gift yarn that I could never make socks for myself with because I’d go blind trying to read the stitches with my favorite complicated patterns (if you’re a non-knitter, stitches in black sock yarn are VERY hard to see).
4. Color TH is willing to wear (choices were black or white). :)
haven't put the afterhought heel in yet, so, this is my foot
Sydney and I went for a walk with a sock (raveled here). Observe a Chrysanthemum sock in our cilantro!
and the sock in the elusive Texas Thistles!
I really like this pattern. It is not terribly complicated, but looks terribly complicated….my favorite. I’m already dreaming about another pair of Chrysanthemums (pattern by Hunter Hammersen).
Ps. If you’re a praying type of folk, I’d really appreciate you praying for Sydney. She’s not feeling well at all just now and we’d love to have her back to her old self. Thank you!!!
