Thanks for the hugs and prayers, Patty! It's amazing the conglomeration of meds she will be taking besides the actual chemo. We had chemo teaching today. Alot to take in. They gave us a notebook with everything imaginable that has to do with mom's treatments. Her port will be under the skin. I pray also that mom gets along ok with no complications. Mom already has kidney disease, Parkinson's, Irritable bowel syndrome, bladder incontinence. Like she really needed one more thing. But God in His wisdom will be there with us through it all. Getting old is not for sissies! This will definitely be a learning experience.

Thanks, Shelley, but that's not the one I was working on ... which I stopped because of yarn discrepancies. But I'm going to be using the same photo to make a wall hanging but I'll be using raw silk fabric and quilting it. It will be 3x3 feet when completed. I'm 'window shopping' for the best deal on getting the colors of silk.

Hi, Susan,
That problem with the yarn was disappointing! So, I changed course and will now make the wall hanging with raw silk fabric... little 3" squares and put them together like a quilt, mount it on something unknown at the moment, and hang it in my living room, or perhaps the dining room , which are both Asian décor. (a nice change from the beach décor I had them in.)
Speaking of ribbing, Susan, I've made the Palm Beach Shrug by Doris Wolf, which has 12 rows of ribbing (Loose ribbing) at the hem, all done in HDC. It's more like a jacket than a shrug. I'm glad I kept the pattern in my printed-out files because all her designs and patterns have all been taken down. Her blog site is deleted. The Palm Beach shrug is still listed at Ravelry with a photo but has a disclaimer the pattern is no longer available. I hope she's okay. But her use of that HDC ribbing on the pattern was ingenious! The jacket is lightweight, open, and breezy, which is perfect here in Florida, especially over a long sleeveless dress in summer.

Hi, Donna. I had completed 25 squares, finished off taking care of the ends. So I bundled them up, put a photo of the project and instructions for the square pattern I used, and put all that in a large ziplock and took the unused yarn (9 colors in all) in a bigger bag and put the smaller bag in with the yarn to keep them all together, and carted them off and donated at the Salvation Army. Somebody will maybe want to finish what I started or perhaps use the yarn for something else they need or want. I hope.
