Thank you everyone for the notes and prayers as I’ve dealt with the loss of my mom. I went back to work on Thursday after being off for 9 days, have tomorrow off as a holiday, so another short week, and then the following week we’ll be leaving on Friday for a business trip and not get back until the next Tuesday, so two more short weeks. It helps to ease back into everyday life. Everyone I’ve talked to who’s lost a parent says that we develop a new normal, because things will never be the same again.
But my normal life still includes knitting, and lots of it. I worked almost solely on Arwen during the week I spent at my parent’s house, and have made good progress. See?
What? A photo? Yes, after about 2 1/2 weeks, I finally got my camera repaired and back to me. The other one I got was ok, but this one is much, much better.
I’ve frogged and restarted Shawl that Jazz about 3 times, so I don’t really have progress to show on it. We are planning an impromptu weekend getaway this next weekend, so I should have several hours in the car where garter stitch will ensue. Since we had to cut our Eureka Springs getaway short, I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with Robert, even if it is mostly in the car.
Back to Normal

so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. ‘They’ are right – you do have to develop a new normal – we had to do that 13 years ago when we lost Mom. Hugs and prayers.
Prayers still being offered for your family. And you will find a new normal. I lost my dad 18 years ago. I still miss him but I did find comfort and peace.
Love the Arwen. I am going to have to dig through the stash and cast that one on.
