However, life's been busy. Haven't had time to blog, although I *THINK* about blogging quite a lot!
If the grandsons go to their dad's this weekend, I'll be able to upload photos, add text, etc.
OTN 1: Urban Necessity mitt/gloves for DD2.
OTN 2: socks - using Knit Picks Essentials in Bare that I dyed. I'm calling the color "Strawberry Creme." No photo yet.
On Tuesday, I took mom to the UIHC for a consultation with a surgeon and several other appointments. Foolish me - took BOTH knitting projects with me and although we were there seven hours, I only got two "half-fingers" done on the first mitt/glove. They kept us very busy. And then there were the hikes from one appt to the next. Mom in the wheelchair, holding her purse, water bottle, and a vinyl folder with the paperwork we needed to take to - and collected from - the appts., while I pushed the wheelchair & clumsily dealt with my (short handled) purse and (short handled) knitting bag.
She has surgery scheduled for May 5th, so I'll do things a lot differently then - NO purses or short handled knitting bags. I've got a nice, rarely used, shoulder bag that I can fit everything we'll need (wallets and lots of knitting stuff.) One bag, hands free. Why didn't I think of that on Monday? I guess I thought we'd be doing a lot of sitting in waiting rooms. Ha! They were all very punctual. And, I knew it was a big place, but I didn't realize we'd be traveling a half mile from one appt. to the next. Got my exercise!!

I'll be waiting for the photos of the knits! Strawberry Creme.... sounds luscious.
Good luck to both you and your mom on her upcoming surgery. Surgeries are always stressful - especially as our parents age. Hope you can relax and do some heavy duty knitting while it's going on. Sometimes I pace.... not good!
You both will be in my thoughts and prayers.
