They are done!!

The hospital where Mom gets her chemo treatments is very cold and with Mom now weighing only about 100 pounds, she freezes while she is there.  So I have been knitting a pair of socks for her.  I wanted something fun with the color turquoise in them (her favorite) and purple (my favorite) and this was what I found.  They are going out in today’s mail to her and I hope they do their job by keeping her feet warm while at the hospital.

She has a bout of tests on Thursday to see how the chemo treatments are doing.  I am praying that the scans show the tumors to be very reduced in size and that she has a light at the end of this nasty tunnel in sight.  Please keep her and Dad in your prayers.  She is not out of danger yet, by a long shot.

This is the yarn for my next pair of socks.  If you look closely, you can see there is a sparkle in the yarn.  There is a silver metallic thread spun in the yarn for an extra fun boost.  This is out of my stash – I could go shopping in there for the next several years.  I think I have enough yarn for about 20 more pairs of socks alone and that’s not counting all the other weights.
