I have a coworkers who has been under treatment for breast cancer. She's been having a difficult time due to infections. I decided to knit her a shawl and was just hiding the last ends when my father passed away. It gave me a lot of comfort knitting this and I hope it gives Pat a lot of comfort using it.
I should be working on this stuff ............
but instead I casted on a 5 hr baby sweater for another coworker out of this red heart yarn. The colorways is lipstick and it's really pretty. Rose is going to be a grandmother for the first time so I thought hey you can't go wrong with a 5 hr baby sweater .... not that I can actually do one in 5 hrs but that's another story for another posting.
Yesterday afternoon a woman and her 3 sons came over to look at my foster kittens and ended up adopting Dusty and Ashley (my package assistants). The only one left right now is Coal and he's a little lonely. He'll have a new family soon enough.
Hope everyone has a good week. Fall is in the air in New England and it's my favorite time of year.

That's a beautiful shawl! How thoughtful of you to knit it for your friend.
Yay for Dusty and Ashley! That shawl is gorgeous! What a wonderful gift.
Glad the kitties found new homes. I wish I could knit a baby sweater in 5 hours-wow- then I'd be all set for the mess of babies that are coming in Jan.
What a beautiful shawl! And I love the color of that red heart yarn!
and it's good to have a little distraction at a service. It helps remind you of the good things in life.
Beautiful shawl. Glad to here that two more kitties found a great home. I think we are bypassing Fall and going straight to winter here. We are under a winter storm warning tonight and could possibly see 6-20 inches of snow....Yikes!
Cute kittens once again! Can't wait to see the 5 hour sweater. It is one of my favorite patterns. It will be adorable in the lipstick yarn!
The foster kittens have a way to make you feel warm inside:) I will continue to hold you and your family in prayer.
The shawl is beautiful and I'm sure it will be a comfort hug to your co-worker/friend.
I am sure your co-worker is going to love the beautiful and very thoughtful shawl you have made for her. And how lucky for Dusty and Ashley to have found a new home. I'm sure little Coal will find one quickly too.
I do hope you will share with us your 5 hr. baby sweater. The yarn is really pretty, so I'm anxious to see how it's going to work up.
Have a great day and take care. :)
What a wonderful shawl. I am sure she will love it .
Glad to hear your foster kitties are finding forever homes. I think it is wonderful you do that.
