Colonoscopy

Ok, this has been a bad week.
I went this past Monday, for a routine ( or so I though) colonoscopy because I turn 51 this year .
I came home from work yesterday to find both the Gastro doctor and my family doctor had called wanting me to get in touch as soon as possible. I called my family doctor first. He gave me the news.
I have colon cancer.
I have to go have a scan to see if its anywhere else before surgery to have it removed.
The doctor thinks its in its early stages. Hope, hope !!
First I cried , then I thought its there and all I can do is take it a day at a time.
Everyone should have a colonoscopy at 45. If you need one please follow through.

The Lenox Square Throw

It has rained most of the month of June . It has been a cool ,damp month . I thought what better to knit in this weather but a blanket. I set my search over at Lionbrand and came up with the Lenox Square Throw.

This is a great pattern for 2 reasons.

1. It is done in strips , making it great if it ever gets warmer.

2. Uses size 13 needles for a quick knit.

I am using Vanna's Choice, 2 strands held together, in the Linen colorway.

This will be a Christmas gift for my daughter Nicole. It will look great on her red sofa.

I started this morning and have 2 cables done so far. Hope to finish this strip tonight.

Jafar turns one

Happy birthday Jafar !!

Elmo cake before and after.

He really enjoys cake.

My first granddaughter

My first granddaughter was born in March.

Her name is Roxy and she is so beautiful. We are so lucky she is healthy as she had a collapsed lung when she was born and needed a chest tube. She is home now and doing well.

Computer fixed

I have been out of commission due to computer problems. I am so glad to have it back, I have missed posting .

Multidirectional Scarf

Started a multidirectional scarf today. Would like to do this one again with self-striping yarn.

I am using Vanna's Choice in Purple Print. Not enough purple in it though for my liking.

I might use this one for the Knit & Chat scarf exchange.

Here it is up close.
