I ventured into something new for me. A striped blanket.
Hobby Lobby Cozy Occasion Yarn one skein ivory and then five skeins of colored yarn. I used a 6.5 hook and the Linen Stitch. I repeated the colors twice so it ended up an ok size. This is the yarn that was supposed to become colored hearts on an ivory background...I didn't like it at all so I frogged it and went with a totally different idea to use up the yarn. I finished this blanket on March 4 and quickly began an ivory blanket to use up the remaining yarn plus two more ivory skeins procured on a trip to Hobby Lobby.
4 medical visits out of 19 are done. The ENT Surgeon advises that Far Guy see the Endocrinologist for follow up ultrasounds/biopsies to keep an eye on the Thyroid nodules. So no thyroid surgery is scheduled.
I picked up groceries at Wally World while Far Guy had his infusion and then we went to Hobby Lobby together and out for lupper at Perkins where we had breakfast.
Minnesota Weather: Cloudy, gloomy, frosty, slippery. We are in a Winter Weather Advisory for all of Friday mainly for ice and slick roads. High was 36F or 2C Low was 19F or -7C eh.

I like the blanket you created.
ReplyDeleteHappy FG doesn’t have to have surgery, surely better temps will arrive soon.
I love the colors in the blanket. Good to hear good news on the appts. Your weather sounds much colder than ours. Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteHooray for no more surgery at this point! LOVE Hobby Lobby and love someone else doing the cooking, serving, and the dishes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors in the blanket and great news from the Dr. Linda, imagesisee.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLaughing; lupper, having breakfast! I enjoy Perkins, hubby does not. So....
ReplyDeleteYou must get to know the medical people very well with all your medical visits.
ReplyDeleteYour meal schedule reminds me of my own. Every day my meal times vary. Just depends on what I am doing.
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is lovely!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear no surgery is required for the lymph nodes. Stay safe and stay warm!
We are having Spring/Winter weather here also---C.O.L.D. with 40 mph wind and frozen mix!
ReplyDeleteNice to try new things. It has been a long time since I have eaten at Perkins. Many in our area have closed. No clue why, they were always busy.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in your striped blanket.
ReplyDeleteIt's spitting light rain and 50 here today. After breakfast and grocery shopping, it's an indoor afternoon. My exercise will be on the bike in the garage.
Frosty, slippery, gloomy....I'd say your weather sounds pretty rotten.
ReplyDeleteThe striped blanket, on the other hand, looks great.
Yay for no Surgery!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful blanket. The colors are so happy and cheerful. Happy clapping for no surgery for Far Guy. Stay inside and avoid those slippery roads.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
Hobby Lobby ~ one of my stops when I get close to a one. Unless I have a list, I sometimes find it overwhelming. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like that blanket! Sorry to hear about slippery weather....hope we don't get that...although it is supposed to rain here tonight. Take good care!
ReplyDeleteI like the blanket. You do excellent work. Every appointment completed is a mini- victory. One step closer to a conclusion. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteLD....I went to Wally World to buy our oldest grandson some men's sized shirts, for his 13th birthday. He is taller than me and wearing my sized clothes. I bought some sugar free cookies which are the best. The blanket pattern works well. Looks stunning.
