Striped Sweater

Received this in the mail on Monday . . .

to make this for daughter in college.

The yarn for this sweater is just yummy. The gauge was exactly what the pattern called for (knitters will understand that statement) and of Friday morning I have back and left side completed. It is working up much faster than I expected. I think I will be able to have it finished early next week. I hope I don't run into trouble with the ruffle.

This is an entry I've been postponing. I thought about skipping it completely, but found I couldn't continue to post if I did.

My Dad passed away last month. His health had been failing steadily and the family knew the end was coming. I thought I was prepared for his passing, but wasn't really.

With Mom and Dad both gone now, it seems like my roots are gone - an ending of a phase of my life.
