Update - no knitting :(

Well, at least he called me this time.

Dad is back in the hospital.  He called me yesterday afternoon and asked me to come drive him in to the VA in Boston - which I did.  His blood pressure was so low I couldn’t believe he was still kicking.  But he’s tough and sounded better when I called this morning.

I really only have a couple of things to tell you.  For the time being, I’m not going to be posting regularly as the situation with dad seems to be gradually worsening and it’s likely I will be going back and forth to Boston on a regular basis for the immediate future.

Second, I have converted all the patterns on Ravelry (Ravelry name: Robbyn) to .pdf format and all are now available as free downloads from Ravelry.  The service provider for my blog has made some changes that make accessing the blog somewhat problematic for some folks at some times and I felt this was the best way to insure that those patterns remained available to those people who wanted them.  Any future patterns will be handled likewise so that even if the blog is funky, the patterns are obtainable.

I hope the world is treating you all well!

No trackbacks yet.

1. get well wishes to the captain- i know from experience how draining it can be to add ‘travel time’ to the anxiety of having a loved one unwell- you take care of yourself too during these days- your readers will all be thinking of you and hoping you will keep us posted concerning the captain’s health-

   stay well-
