Why is it that the first really cold morning always feels so much colder than it does later in the season? This morning was in the mid-thirties, not quite freezing, but close enough to get your attention. The wind blew in a definitely cold front last night. It was preceded by a light shower and stirred up a lot of leafy activity, mostly in the front of my entry court gate where it likes to collect. As I opened the gate, I saw that the Optimists' Club had set out the flag for Veterans Day.
Last night, as the cold moved in, I sat before the TV finishing the next Baby Boy sweater. It is for Husker's first grandson whom he will never get to know. So I made Baby Boy a sweater to make his Grandpapa happy. Go Huskers! Next up -- cap and booties to match. It is made from
Berroco Comfort DK in colorways True Red (2751), white (2700), and black (2734). I trust you can see the Nebraska logo just fine! Pattern? Ask me. It is free.
I am so so so sorry to hear of your loss. Our life in this world is so bittersweet. Your sweater made me think of something I recently read ~ it went something like "you bury the dead and care for the living" and your beautiful sweater for the little husker is a precious gift that will keep Allen's memory alive and a bond with his grandchild. Take care of yourself and I'm glad you are going to grief counseling.
