completed fingerless gloves project, one being worn.

Second Project: Fingerless Gloves

Finished with my arm warmers! These were a lot of fun to make and I learned a lot. And I already have plans to remake them. I have a few complaints about these including: too long, too tight, and thumb hole too wide. Now that I understand the “recipe” as the creator calls it, I’m looking forward to improving my execution.

Some of my entries here may seem quite depressing as I describe the effects of cancer and its treatment. I’m sure some find it off-putting. I think it’s important though. I had heard people say cancer is a dreadful disease, and I knew that the treatment was brutal. I even understood that a huge part of why the treatment is so harsh is because cancer cells are very similar to normal cells. But before I saw my dad go through it, I didn’t really understand. I want to be up front without being graphic about the way cancer and cancer treatment affect people.

More importantly, I want to preserve and share the pieces of my dad I treasure. I hope you find value in both these goals.
