I have been knitting,

but it's PC's black blob sweater (back DONE! front 2/3 DONE!) and well, stockinette in black= awful photos. When it's all done, I will make PC do a photo shoot in the sunlight with his new sweater! :) (yes, honey, you heard me... we talked about this, this is the picture where I intentionally chop your head off).

I found a wonderful kimono (or Jedi style) baby sweater pattern last night. I am still working on Baby Sweater #3. I found it here. I should have it done this weekend. :) Along with PC's sweater parts. I am going to need major assistance with the assembly. I am thinking of hiring the girl at W&W to help me out with this. I want the seams to look nice and not "homemade", but "handmade."

In other news, we had some bad news in my house this weekend. It appears that my dad has esophogeal cancer. Today we find out the stage of the cancer and therefore, the treatments available. My dad wants to be very proactive on this and treat it as agressively as his body will let him. He's scared. Mom's scared. I'm scared. I'm sure my brothers are scared. Last winter we went through hospital hell for 5 weeks with my mom. She was diagnosed with emphysema and had to go through all these awful phlebotomy treatments to lower her blood crit and more physical therapy. It was a strain. I live with my parents, but as the only girl, a lot of responsibility falls on my shoulders. My dad saw this last year and the toll it took on my sanity. So, he elected to tell the boys (my brothers) early enough, but we'll see if they step up to the plate for this one. I have my doubts,but they have surprised me before. So, there may be a posting lag as I will be trying to help out my folks as much as they need and tend to other things (like my-soon-to-be-official- promotion at work).

More photos and updates as I get them.
