Quick Update

By -
Things are going better for me - I'm about to leave for work this morning. Just wanted to say I picked up yarn and hook and actually started something with it yesterday! I feel like I'm starting to get back to my new self again! LOL!

My project will be a simple round ripple using Caron One Pounders in white and a lovely shade of lavender. It's what drew me to the project to begin with. Hopefully, I'll have some baby afghans to send to Kathryn for the NICU unit. I wish I had been able to send some in 2009 but it didn't happen.

Looking forward to a new and better 2010!

Fighting the Fight Again

By -
I've been struggling again with depression. I've decided to try talk therapy in addition to medication. My days have been filled with tears and with an overwhelming sadness for many months now. I hope that the new medications and the therapy will make a big change in me. My singular joy in life has been visiting with my grandson. I haven't picked up a crochet hook in ages, with the exception of those chemo caps I promised to my sister in law. I finished them and sent them on their way. I will update this post with photos of the finished caps. Please forgive me for not posting on a regular basis. I do enjoy writing and miss blogging. Please keep me in your prayers, good friends.

Hexagon Afghan Pattern, on a Tuesday Afternoon

This morning was a physical therapy appointment. Unfortunately, the sore back is keeping me from doing all of the exercises required to strengthen my knee. I have had a prescription filled for muscle relaxers and I hope that clears up the back problem. Tom started back to school yesterday. I'm concerned about how he's going to be getting back and forth to the train station for school, as I'm still not driving. Brandi's afghan is finished. It turned out nicely, I think. I tried an idea for a different border on it, and I really like the way it looks. I hope she likes it. Now I have time to start a new project. Not sure what I'll make yet - lots of possibilities. Below are the directions for making the basic hexagon afghan. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Hexagon Afghan I used a J hook and worsted weight yarn.
