everything hurts

thanks to everyone for the lovely thoughts and kind words about bob's passing. it is still very painful of course, and everyone is very sad, and the nasty ex-wife-with-5-kids crap has started already, but trent as the oldest is in charge of everything and is keeping himself busy with organising etc. bobs most recent partner is the most fantastic woman, he said himself he finally got it right with her, and although she is absolutely shattered, she is determined that we stay part of her family, for which we are very grateful. the funeral wont be till next week as he is with the coroner (he died in hospital), so there will be more sadness to come. for now we are just trying to get through each day. i am so tired and sore, i feel like ive been hit by a truck!

i did manage to finish the shetland triangle (here it is unblocked):


and have just spent the last hour poking myself in the fingertips with sharp pins:

i obviously need blocking wires, i just couldnt stretch it out as much as i wanted to, and the points on the edges should be much pointier, but for a first effort i think it will come up lovely.

here are some detail shots in different light so you can see the colours and the circular fir cone pattern.


i am very proud of this, we are going to see kdlang on thurs night and i am going to wear it there!

hope everyone else is doing ok, i have not had much time to read blogs lately but will get to it.
