Subject: [TMIC] OT:My Pattern published!
This is off Topic, but I am so full of complaints and
disappointments--- that i share and work on here-- that i wanted to
share a ray of hope.
I got a box the other day from Simon and Schuster... i had not clue
what it was til i opened it...
My 2010 Crochet A Day Calendar arrived and my Flower Link scarf
patternis in it!
This particularly sweet, not only because the pattern was rejected by
Interweave ( so if at first you don't succeed try, try again)
but because my model was my visually challenged neighbor from the
complex I stayed in, in Rochester while learning to live my life anew
as a paraplegic and awaiting my home's rehab.
It was a hellishly hard and horrible time and I missed the art i used
to make and crochet
was both a salvation and communication. I offered weekly crochet
lessons in that building.
The picture was taken on a sunny but chilly day in the courtyard I
used to love to roll to...
the pattern was about turning poison into medicine.
by hand
from heart
