This drive-by knitting gift landed in my mailbox today, from Nancy, crediting JoAnne, with a little tag in there from Ellen, and saying Stephanie approved. A group hug, it sounds like. Thank you doesn’t begin to express the sense of wonder at being included like this. Wow. Cool. Thank you!
I confess to cowardice last month: I did tell my surgeon there was a knitting conference. I waited to see his reaction before I was going to specify that it was actually not just that, but a sock knitting conference–and then somehow as we talked about things related to the kinds of stitches he was going to be doing, it never quite came up.
Heh. I know how I can make it obvious now. Now that I’ve broken him in on the general idea, with my husband enthusiastically nodding that oh yes, thousands of knitters come to these knitting conferences, I can show that indeed we do.
And now that I have been made well at his and the other surgeons’ hands, next time I won’t have to miss it. Or even worry about missing it. I can’t tell you what a gift that is.
