I'm so sorry about your mom too. Glad you could spend the time with her, working on her projects. I bet that helped her too.
I've been taking my mom to chemo and radiation, and have been knitting in the gowned waiting room for the radiation and during chemo, and people always comment. One woman said she knit over 200 hats last year!! I am in awe... all for charity. I've done 3 simple "chemo caps" for my mom, using Berroco's Chinchilla - yummy stuff! A yarn store in Corvallis Oregon sponsors chemo caps and donates quite a few caps to the oncology dept at the Corvallis hospital. (I'm taking mom to Salem though since we live closer to there). A small introduction - I've been lurking on the digests for years now, and have popped in occassionally. I'm a spinner/knitter/dyer/weaver living in Oregon. Spinning up some handpainted merino/tencel (LOVE this stuff, the merino is dyed, the tencel is white so it sort of glows), and have a chenille scarf on the loom while I ponder a potential honeycomb project... have never woven honeycomb, so it's time. Will actually have to do a sample this time since I just have no idea what the fabric will be like - will it be a blouse, or a vest? So how much would I need to weave? That's why I'll sample. And maybe my idea won't work at all, who knows! Not sure what weight warp I'll use, but my cells will be 20/2 rayon in a yellow, orange, and marroon rotation, and I'm looking at a navy blue 6-strand cotton floss from Robin and Russ for the cell outlines.... if they have it in navy.... going there tomorrow (oh boy!!). What are you all working on? Diane in Dallas Oregon (the little Dallas!) To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
