Look What I Found
A baby sweater that just needs the front band finished, button holes added, ends weaved in and it's DONE! Actually I found TWO!!! One in the green and another one in blue. What was I thinking! Why didn't I finish these? I could have given them away several times over. Too weird!
And I haven't even touched the Fuzzy Feet today. What little time I did have to spend fooling around, I spent beading. And nothing to show for that amount of time either.
But I did work very hard at getting two more people involved in coming to the Guild or KC or both - lol! The receptionist at the radiology is a very beginner knitter and an accomplished beader. She's been trying to help me with a bracelet design. Today when I got there for my treatment, she had a another nurse waiting to visit with me. Another new KNITTER!
We had a great visit (the lab was running about 1/2 hour behind so we had plenty of time) and I think she may come to the KC on Saturday. She mentioned how she's afraid of cables but would really like to learn. So I gave her CABLE HOMEWORK - LOL!
And radiation treatment 11. Just for fun, I had the rad tech take pics of me with my mask on. Now I just have to decide if I want to share these or not. They are kind of weird looking and might put people off. Let me know if you think you might want me to post one or two.
Then I spent the evening finding fruit smoothie recipes to use with my new whey protein suppliment (not getting enough protein and meat tastes bad - the whey was suggested by the radiology nurse). Found several recipes, made one to test, and drank the whole thing! These are really supposed to be two servings...hmmm...I see a bit of a problem here.
It was delicious! It's the first time in ages I've had something that tasted sweet and good! And no sugar added at all. The whey has a natural sweetness and of course the frozen blueberries were sweet. I was prepared to add stevia (I went to it during the chemo. It was the only sweetner I could tolerate), but didn't even need it. And it held me for over two hours, another big plus.

Susan, I love the little sweaters! Your knitting and fiber skills inspire me every time I see your blog.
I also appreciate your honesty and willingness to share your health issues.
Honey, if you would like us to see what you are dealing with every day with your treatments, post a picture. We should all understand and know how to better pray for and help you through this. I don't think anyone will be *put off*. If it is helpful to you, and you don't mind, let the others of us understand and be your friends and helpers.
We care deeply and you're always in my prayers.
Your Pal,
Shelly
Maybe you could post a warning message in case someone doesn't want to see it and place the pic at the bottom. I'm interested.
That is a super cute baby sweater! I love the color design. I also love your hilarious song to the tune of Winter Wonderland!
I hope your treatments are going well -- keep drinking those smoothies! :)
