Happy Mother's Day
The week was as busy as I had expected, birthday celebration and a wedding on Saturday. Mother's Day was relaxing, nice memories made.
Knitting - another burp cloth completed, originally I had planned to make 8 - 10 burp clothes for twins due in October, today I received news only one of the twins will likely be born, the other it seems will not survive. I didn't know the sex of either twin, I had started knitting burp clothes in shades proper for boys, in the back of my mind I kept thinking about something I have wanted to knit and donate (a need seldom asked for or even considered because we focus on the living) I have wanted to knit burial gowns for babies at the hospital that are born too small. The one surviving twin is a boy, the other twin is a girl, for her I will knit with Blue Sky Alpaca Royal a burial gown, something special for her parents to wrap her in and know that she is covered in soft lovely fibers. I consider my knitting ability to be a gift, I am glad I can give to this to her parents.
Life is sometimes very hard, but it does go on, better days will be ahead.
I'm wishing everyone a good week,

ooohhh! I am so jealous!
Of course,If I would gather up my stash into a neat stack I might almost have about that amount:)
I love "hoarding" yarn.
I am married to a very special man who never asks me how much I've spent on yarn...God Bless him for not asking so I don't have to tell a lie...I love my yarn, sometime I just sit in my knitting room and he'll stop by the door and ask "what do you do in here", I don't tell him "dream about future knitting projects"
