I have finished two scarves and knit one whole one and started another in the past four days. Normally this would be a great accomplishment, in this case it was necessary for something resembling sanity. Peter's mom was diagnosed with acute Leukemia on Sunday morning. Today is Wednesday and she died at 11:00 last night. So swift and brutal but thank God she was not in any pain.
I used to smoke, now I knit. But I can tell you I want those scarves out of my sight ASAP. Unfortunately one of them is the gift-swap scarf; I'm mixed about sending something as a gift which has so much sadness knit into it. Maybe I'll include a note, maybe I'll send something else. I don't have to decide right away, I guess.
Thank heavens for my knitting, I could not have got through this without it.

Hugs and happy thoughts. It's never easy.
Big hugs, Kit.
And I know what you mean - since taking up knitting again, I've found it very therapeutic. Well, except when I discover dropped stitches *g*.
I'm so sorry to hear your news. I too used to smoke and now I knit to get through the hard times (and the good times!)
My thoughts are with you and your family.
*hugs* to you Kathy.
And please pass along my hugs to Peter too. I can't imagine what you're going through.
Hugs all around.
