“Insanity” coming to an end!

by Karen on October 29, 2009

in Dear Jane -- or Insanity as I call, knitting/crochet, life in general

I can’t believe I am almost done with this quilt that I have been working on for 4 years and 8 months!  I have one last corner piece to quilt and then on to cutting the scallops and doing the binding.  My “Insanity” is almost complete!!!  I could have actually finished it last week I think but yet I have been dragging the work out almost like I don’t want to let go of it.  I really should finish the quilting tonight – but I just might wait until tomorrow :)

The last of the triangles!!!!

the scarf - see how it grows :)

Today I had a session with the Physical Therapist – isn’t it amazing how hurting can feel good if you know what I mean.  I was getting massaged, manipulated and pulled this way and that and my neck hurt but yet it felt good at the same time — back for more “torture” tomorrow.  I was told they hadn’t seen a neck as tight as mine in awhile – isn’t it nice to be special :)

Rain and rain and more rain.  So far the worse of it today has been south of us.  I hope all of my internet friends in south Arkansas and Louisiana are doing ok.  I hope we don’t get the heavy downpours tonight and that we miss out on most of it this time.  One more day of it is what they say and then maybe 5 days of dry weather – we will wait and see on that – I don’t believe the forecaster anymore!!

Oh Karen, I hope having the completed quilt in your arms/on your bed/etc will fill the huge gap that completing the quilt might leave! Hats off to you for taking on such a project – twice ;)

Karen,

you are so close to being done with your DJ. I’ve enjoyed watching your quilt come alive as you quilt it. I’m so excited for you!

Also, your knitting is looking mighty good!

It has been raining mighty hard for the past 2 days here in Northern Arkansas. It’s gray, cloudy and rainless so far today. The weatherman says it will be a nice weekend. Temps in the high 50′s and no rain.

Joyce.
