I won't go into lots of detail, but this is just a few of things that have happened the last couple of months.
The last few months have been pretty dramatic for us. In October, we finally got married after 17 plus years.(This was a good thing), but on our wedding day we got a phone call that my sweet little Mom passed away. I was very sad and I will miss her, but know she is at peace and in a better place. Two days after Mom passed, my dad became very ill and was admitted to the hospital. (He is okay now, thanks goodness!)
December we went back to Virginia to see my very ill father in law and two days after we left VA, we got a phone call on Christmas Day that he had passed. We flew back to VA for his funeral on New Year's Eve.
Believe it or not through all this, I have been knitting.
I finished two sweaters and 8 Cashmere scarves and one Musk Ox scarf.
The above sweater is:
Elsinore Pullover for my grandson, Landen age 8
size 33 inches
Jamieson Shetland
Simply Shetland Double Knitting
Size 4 and 5 needle
started Dec 07 finished Jan 08
Designer Gregory Courtney
Good to see you back! I've enjoyed your blog and was hoping you would return:-) So sorry to hear of the loss of your loved ones. I am amazed at how much you've accomplished through all that has occured. I love the sweater is it a Starmore pattern?

Congratulations on your marriage! I am so sorry for the losses you have endured these past months. It's good you were able to find some solace in your knitting (the pullover is beautiful).
