Frustrating Sunday

Did the usual tidying up etc that goes with a Sunday and then settled in and did up another chemo chap. I had two more that needed the ends tucked in so did that as well as kitchenered a toe on a sock. Then came the frustrating part, I worked on http://http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/4054/tthelmet.htm and do you think I can figure it out. I knit it, tinked it, knit it, and tinked it all afternoon. I finally gave up on it this evening.

InKnitter

Today I picked up a copy of a new to me knitting magazine, InKnitter http://www.inknitter.com. I may have seen this on the shelf before but just skimmed over it. A good friend of mine, from Texas was telling me about it and how her daughter is going to be featured in the spring/summer issue so I went looking to see if I could find it here so I will be ready when her issue comes out. It has some interesting patterns in it.

This morning was a busy morning with running errands, buying groceries and getting my hair cut but now hoping to settle in and do a bit of knitting. Still looking for that pattern to just jump out at me and say, knit me! In the meantime I have been working on chemo caps and finally got a pair of socks cast on. On the 24th Gary delivered another 12 caps for me, so that makes a total of 24 to day for this year.

Just a test

No School Today

No school today made for very little knitting time through the day. I did finish up the neckband on Dayne's Christmas sweater. It was a bit tight going over his head, so had his mom bring it back and I took the neckband off and picked up a few more stitches and voila it now fits.

In the evening we just watch t.v. and I worked on some opal socks. I am using some green verigated yarn that I picked up last year during our Washington get together. Must make room for any new purchases I may make at the get together this year.

Surprise

This morning Dad was down to see the oncologist about his chemo meds. She told him that the sore feet were just part of what to expect, and that as long as they weren't blistering or cracking they would not adjust his dosage. They do not want any opennings in his skin, as his immune system is really jeopardized because of the chemo. After his appointment he stopped by for a visit and stayed and had lunch with me. When he got home, he phoned me to say that Auntie Lila was on her way home from Winnipeg! What a surprise as I didn't think she would get out this soon.

This evening worked on another chemo cap after I got home from my massage. I am enjoying making them, they are certainly using up stash for me and Gary says they are so happy to get them when he drops them off.
