I am so sorry that you are ill and I will keep you in my prayers. Your spirit and strength are inspirations to all of us. I am relatively new to knitting (learned in October) but have been a lifetime crocheter, so I understand yarn a bit. I love to do both, but my ambitious eagerness to make something as beautiful as your embossed diamonds sometimes has me knitting beyond my skill level at the time. I don't get frustrated because that's how I learn - from constant ripping out of my mistakes and reading lots about how to that! So as I knit my embossed diamond afghan, I will say prayers for you, you will be on my mind and in my heart, and it will be my Alison afghan. Alison,

Too bad you missed the inauguration. It was rivetting stuff. I couldn't tear myself away. Channing was there for it, and got to see our new president at one of the balls. Do be sure to watch the footage when you're up for it. Russ Alison:
