Saturday OH What Have I DONE?
I met two nurses pals for coffee last night.
They had a dinner and I joined them late.
Mary told me a story I'd never heard.
She told me her mother had Post partum depression in the late 1950s after Mary was born.
She was the 4th child.
First depression.
Her mom was hospitalized for 6 months and had electro shock therapy.
Mary was sent to her aunt's house for the first 6 months of her life.
When she was in high school her mom slowly let out bits and pieces of this story.
Mary's mom is now struggling, like mine, with dementia.
Mary asked if I could put the blanket together that her mom cannot finish.
I said yes.
How could I refuse?
So here's the panels.
I have work ahead of me.
I may have to celebrate summer and buy yarn today.
I like the look of the mitten pattern I came across yesterday with a
variegated top.
Hoping for a Triple Crown Winner today!

My grandmother only taught me to knit so that I would seam all her sweaters for her. She said she'd done enough. I feel your blanket pain - you are a good soul to volunteer!
I think some yarn buying is definitely in order.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,
Meredith
