Knit All November, Day 11
Second Project: Fingerless Gloves
First one done! I’m pretty happy with it. If I could redo it, I might make it a little looser and a little shorter, but that’s just knitpicking (hahahahaha).
Cancer sucks a lot, and the treatment for cancer ALSO sucks a lot. A good friend of mine was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma extremely early, essentially as a coincidence. This is a very well-documented and treatable cancer. As far as cancer goes, this is the absolute best you could hope for.
Still, my friend is going through months of painful treatments which attack her body, cause blood clots, and suppress her immune system so that any cut is an emergency room visit. Good news though: partway through her treatment and a PET scan is showing no cancer at all. She still has to finish the course, but the outlook is very hopeful.
She’s gonna love that knitpicking joke.
