I also made scarves for Darrin's sister and mother. These were made with Moda Dea Tutu yarn that I got on sale at Ocean State Job Lot.

Please say a little prayer
I thought it might be a good time to post this. If you read this, please say a prayer for Darrin's Aunt Gerry. She is having surgery as I type this. I am praying for a speedy recovery, strength, and peace for her. This is the prayer shawl that I made for her. She told me that she was wearing it last night before she went to bed. It was made with various types of yarn that I found in my stash and on clearance at A.C. Moore.

I really haven't felt like posting lately
It isn't like I haven't been getting projects done, I did 4 prayer shawls in 2 weeks and I now need to make 2 more, along with all of the Christmas knitting and crocheting. I have been photographing everything...I just haven't had the motivation to blog about them and get the photos into my photobucket. This time of year always gets me down. There is always so much to get done and so little time to do it in even though I start during the summer.
Darrin and I went to New York City with his family yesterday to see the Radio City Christmas Show. It was great. His family kept asking me what I wanted to see. I have been to NYC 3 times before, I always did a little sight seeing while I was there. I didn't even have a list of yarn stores to visit! LOL The only down point was when we got a phone call from his friend's wife. She called to tell Darrin that his friend's granddaughter (who was about 4 months old)had passed away yesterday, suddenly. His friend couldn't even function yesterday, and understandably so. He had lost his other granddaughter 7 years ago. I need to make prayer shawls for Darrin's friend and wife. They really need prayers and comfort right now. I don't even know what to say to them except I'm sorry, but what does that really do? It is always so bad when a child dies, but what can one really do to comfort the one who is experiencing the loss. I guess we could just be there for him when he is ready to talk.
