Good News!

The melanoma is only in the first stages so everything should be able to get cleared up with a little more surgery. I am so relieved. The past two days have been a bit of a blur, I think not knowing is the hardest part. Now that we know that its in the very early stages and that with surgery everything should be okay i feel so much better.
I've been distracting myself by knitting away and just trying to not think about it. I wanted to wait until we knew more to really get stressed about the whole thing, and I'm glad I did. It was nearly impossible not to think about it, but I did my best to distract myself and just wait it out. Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts, they really helped me calm down :)

So, now that things are looking up I've decided to cast on for a new pair of socks. I made Jered's mom the cable socks from the Knitting on The Road book and they turned out gorgeous, I love sock knitting and haven't made a pair since then, so its about time! I think I'll cast on after I finish this up.

This Sunday is my first bridal shower. My boss is throwing me one that all of my school friends, and mom and sister are going to come to. Its nice to have one this early because it will get me in the mindset of "Oh my God I'm getting married in two months!" I think it might actually start to sink on on Sunday!

I finished tempting, I just need to graft the underarms and buy a ribbon. My yoke is soooo huge, and I may end up frogging it back a bit and decreasing...I'll decide once I put the ribbon in and see if that helps tighten it up a bit. It turned out really well, I loooove the color and it wears really nicely. I can't wait until its warm enough for me to wear it to work!

I leave you with a picture of drool-able yarn (on display at knittapalooza last weekend)...I want some lace-weight anything to make a shawl soooo bad! Miriam has inspired me to want to make something very complicated and lacy...I think I might have to make a little trip to KnitPicks...online yarn rocks!!! Does anyone have any suggestions for lacy projects? I'm craving it like a donut on Sunday morning.
