I think I’m going to hang my mittens on an Icord but after that I’m not sure...perhaps going up the banister. We don’t have a fireplace/hearth...do you have that as an option.

Your sweater is so pretty with the cables and that cream colored yarn...scrumptious!<br />The poem got me tearing up and I'm not into poetry but some just hits you and you understand. I'm so sorry about the sadness you are going through. We must be under the same star lately or is that "mercury in retrograde' messing with us? Days like these you wonder if you'll be able to rise up again but yet deep inside we know we will if we live long enough. It's just like cuts or bruises or illness....the older you get the longer it takes to heal. Take care my friend and know I am thinking of you and sending you love and hugs and peace.

Beautiful poetry to mark his passing. Was your friend also a writer?<br /><br />I hope you find solace in the teaching of your friend to knit and the support you can give to others. May plenty of support and encouragement come your way in return.<br /><br />Meanwhile, your sweet granddaughter is at the very beginnings of her life's journey. May she heal your aching heart during these difficult times. xxJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717394370495529257.post-23346565967142058072019-09-15T16:16:00.559-07:002019-09-15T16:16:00.559-07:00Congratulations on the Advent mittens being done!!...Congratulations on the Advent mittens being done!!!!

When will you be heading back to Croatia to see her and squeeze her and spoil her rotten?<br /><br />I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. I read the poem you wrote and was deeply moved. The one in this post brought me to tears. Very touching.<br /><br />Congrats on finishing all the little mitts for advent. They are so darn cute. And 3 inches on the sweater is quite an accomplishment. That is quite intricate. Bravo for helping your friend make a shawl. It will help take her mind off her treatment.<br /><br />Hopefully this week will be a happier week.Leftycrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607852055622555069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717394370495529257.post-35316173859919569042019-09-15T11:34:37.378-07:002019-09-15T11:34:37.378-07:00Condolences on your loss.
