Here it is! All done and waiting for some tiny little child going through chemo to love it. I say tiny because it is much smaller than i thought it would be….it barely fits Emmet! It should fit a girl toddler pretty well, i think. Picking up the stitches along the bottom was easier than i thought it would be! And kinda fun!

PHEW! Not only did it somehow all come together, but it looks GOOD!

Ok. This may look like a twisted knitting science experiment. But this is the chemo hat i’m making. LUCY I NEED YOU!!! If you remember correctly, i started out on wooden circulars that broke and i had to start over with new aluminum ones and everything was great until the rows started getting way too tight on the circular….i knew what had to be done but i don’t own double pointed needles yet! But then i thought maybe i could add one of the broken off wooden pieces to sort of form dpn’s…then that wasn’t enough so i had to use the other broken piece but then a crochet needle was adopted into the mix because nothing is working the way it should and i’m confused and scared of this monster i’ve created and i don’t even know if it might be too fragile to transport to work tomorrow and i need Lucy’s help! What a mess.

…but the antibiotics are helping. Turns out i had Bronchitis. So this weekend was low key; lots of coughing and knitting and hanging out on the couch. I finally started knitting the chemo hat…i had tiny circular needles that were just the right size and i started Saturday and the pattern said to knit up 4 inches before decreasing and i got about 3 inches done when the circular needle broke!!! And it pulled out a couple of rows of stitches too! AAAck! i tried, but it was unfixable. So i went to A.C. Moore and bought some aluminum circular needles and started all over again!

I am sick. I have a crazy sore throat, cough, runny nose, headache….the whole shebang. I wish i was sitting at home, sticks in my hands, yarn in my lap, but i’m at work till 12. And when i’m done, i will go to the dentist to have a cavity filled. That may be one of the worst things in the world. This is not a happy day. Does anyone feel sorry for me???

Last night i worked a bit more on the snowflake scarf…i finally know who it will be for. And then i worked on the afghan i’m making for my mother-in-law. I have a feeling there’s no way in hell it’s going to be done before Christmas, but i’m still going to try! I would post a picture but i don’t want her to see it!
