Fibery Goodness Roundup

Things have been a bit hectic since my last post.  My hubby started a new chemotherapy drug which is leaving him drained and ill, and this week he has several brain radiation treatments,  which added to his chemo, will do a serious number on his energy,  along with some nasty headaches.

My big excitement was having my Brainless Cowl featured on A Baby's Smile blog for Inspiration Monday. To see the post and find out more about the Inspiration Monday linky party, head over to A Baby's Smile and say hello.

My Event Horizon Pi Shawl is in the end stages, with the border going on slowly,  but surely.  I'm looking forward to the Solid Sock Ravelry Group KAL that will be starting on April 4th, and have my yarn set aside for that.


Yesterday,  I found out that our county 4H is going to be giving a fundraiser for us, to help raise money to cover our medical expenses.  Even though we are fortunate to have good health insurance,  copays alone are practically breaking us. I haven't been working because I've been home with him, and,  as you can imagine,  things are just horribly stressful.  I'm going to be knitting a shawl to be auctioned off, and I've chosen to do Annis, from Knitty.com, although I'm going to replace the nupps with beads.


For my quilting friends,  I saw this post over on Bloglovin', and had to share this fat quarter giveaway.  Please head right over and get your entry in, because,  seriously,  this fabric is GORGEOUS!
Seriously..I think it needs stitches.: Purple Punch Giveaway
