accident
I have been on edge for the last few days and it's really hard for me to deal with this. What do you say to parents who's kid just had a major accident!? A friend of Carl and I was involved in a frontal accident. He is barely 18yo, is a rock climbing maniac and was a burst of energy. He is in the coma right now with a fractured hip and perforated lung. My stomach has been in knots since I have learned on this accident on friday. Ten days or so, there was an accident on the news in the small area David is from, Carl said I bet it's him, the accident and I of course, brushed it off. Come on there are so many white civic cars in the world. He was right, I was not, my heart aches for his parents only days before Christmas.We were going to see David again when we start working on the road in january, he is such a great guy. It pains me so much you have no idea. :(
The second hat is done and keeping Carl's ears warm and toasty. :) Hat was quick and easy to do, I finished it on the way to our second craft show yesterday. Since friday I have been to three shows and they all had something great to offer. The main show in Montreal is always a pleasure to shop at, to go in in free and it lasts a few weeks, I know I will be back before it ends. We went to a craft show with a purpose after the kids skating lesson (yes, Zoe needs to start an intro to private lessons says our trusted skating expert friend!), we went to Rosalie Jette school, which is a school for you teen moms to finish their high school and learn a bit how to become a mom at such a young age.
I have started a third that I hope will be done by tonight, I really want to give it to the intended child tomorrow. I have "adopted" a kid from Zoe's school to knit for, she should receive hat, mittens and scarf but I'm a tad late on my schedule and was hoping she would get it all by monday, I started knitting the hat late last night. LOL! I am recycling some yarn from a project that didn't go too well, thrum socks sounded like a good idea until I got into making the actual thrums. ;) So anyway, I have just one ball of this pastel-ish color, we'll see how much I can knit out of it. I'd love to use Kate's quick and easy mitten pattern but I am using an aran weigth yarn and won't go into fudging the numbers to make it fit the yarn. I'd end up with something totally wrong. :-P
