Okay, so the tattoo ended up off my body. It should be under the sleeves and no, it's not a heart with MOM.

This is who I really am...
And don't tell me it isn't true. I know the truth. I do!

See, I'm getting SOMEthing done.
This is a test knitting project for Gardiner Yarn Works. I used Hand Jive Knits yarn and the color is SO Me. 
This is just like the gold and green sock but in purple, pink and brown. (I thought I had posted this but I couldn't find it!) I think it's a Trekking yarn called Lifestyles. A heavier weight and faster knit.I love this yarn and it's watercolor look.Please note, that I did not take picture of the Knitpicks Sock Tutorial project. 7 pairs of socks in various stages of completion on one 40" circ, plus some other partial socks. 3.5 weeks and almost lost my mind....

Taking Care
Today I am pretty much focused on two things:
Letting go of my quilting stash (not too hard at this point)
Creating a plan for taking care of a friend who had broken her right arm and wrist (yes, she's a knitter and those are her hands).
It's the last one that's making me feel really emotional. It's not that I'm relating to her situation as a patient, but I think it's reminding of caring for my mother for so many years. When I love someone, knowing that they are going through emotional stress related to things out of all of our control is so hard.
Unlike that situation with my mother, I actually have a crew of friends who are all involved with coordinating efforts.
The one time I had surgery, I was living with and taken care of by a family who I was close to. They were completely there for me and I didn't have to worry about anything. I was able to let go of my control and just let it be. I realize it's not that easy for other people to do the same.
Bottom line, it's not something I can fix, I can just assist as much as I can.
