http://www.favecrafts.com/ml/1 is an excellent source for ideas and patterns.  I have made a few of the things they have featured in their newsletters.

AllFreeKnitting.com is giving away a Boye Yardage Counter. I entered and you can too.

I have several new projects. First, I'm working on a pair of top-down knit socks. Second is a pair of toe-up crocheted socks. Third is a knit shawl. This all gives me something to do while I'm at the hospital with my husband.

Life can be so complicated sometimes.  I'm glad I know how to knit and crochet.  Both arts are a wonderful way to let go of the stresses of worry and fear. I am also thankful that my husband is cooperating (FINALLY!) with the hospital staff as they try to help him get back on his feet.

For anyone out there who is wondering where I have been for the last week or so, I have been at the hospital every day with my husband.  Red has been having trouble with some blockages in his left leg.  Hopefully, yesterday's surgery will take care of the problem. Otherwise, we will have a whole new set of problems.  I will get back on the ball when he is home and I have less stress.
