Good News: Kelley's socks (mostly) fit. She had a little trouble fitting them over her heel, but once they were on they seemed to fit well. Of course, if they were killing her feet, she wouldn't have told me because I think she feels bad that the first pair didn't fit and I've been working on these socks for a really long time. I just hope she likes them and she wears them.
Good News: My lace books came in from KnitPicks. I want to make everything in Victorian Lace Today. The photography in the book is great and it's so cool to read about the Victorian patterns that inspired the book. I also got Folk Shawls, which looks like an interesting book as well. I got some new yarn as well, and figured out what I'm going to do for the one coworker's baby blanket. Similar to the one I made for Maggie, but using sport-weight (so smaller squares) in fun, bright, springy, pretty colors. More specifically, KnitPicks Shine Sport in Aquamarine, Hydrangea, Butter, Blush, and Sky. My WIP bag looks like it's full of candy. Oh, and the dishcloth patterns I'll be using are butterfly, dragonfly, and flower. Totally girly. I'm so excited.
Good News: I'm almost moved out of my apartment. I think my brother will help me get the last boxes this weekend. The bad news is that it's killing my back. Doesn't take much, it seems.
Bad News: The other coworker's baby unfortunately did not live. I cried when I heard the news. I feel so awful for the family, to lose a child under any circumstances must be one of the most difficult things to experience. I've not yet had the opportunity to be a parent, but I can imagine that it must be heart-wrenching to go through.
But, Good News: They have a healthy and beautiful older child and they seem very strong and capable of handling this sadness. I wish them well in their healing process. I wish there was something I could do, but I'm not sure what a situation like this needs.
