Life sure interrupts the program.
The good news is that my sister-in-law is healing nicely, and my new infant nephew is alive. The bad news is that due to some pretty scary complications in childbirth, they are in different hospitals in the D.C. area. My new nephew is in a very good neo-natal intensive care unit at Georgetown Hospital. (He lacked oxygen for a few minutes and has had some seizures.)
As you might imagine, news about yarn can wait a day or two. At the moment, all hands are on deck in Northern Virginia, and luckily, everyone who lives close by is helping at the hospitals, with my two year old nephew, and taking care of the rest of my family.
I am, in the terms of the organizational genius who is my mom, "the second shift." I'll be heading east from Kentucky to help out when everyone is (hopefully) home from the hospital...to cook meals, take my older nephew to nursery school, etc.
In the meanwhile, I'd like to ask if you, in my special cyber community, could send prayers, good vibes, or your strong thoughts and white light in the direction of Northern Virginia. One baby and his mom sure need it right now. If such things work, I'll be very grateful for your help, friends. Thanks.

In all the dishevel, don't forget your camera and necessary accessories. Prayers coming indeed...and I trust you'll be the first to put knitting needles in his hands and snap the picture for the baby book and blog.
I'm sure everything will be just great. Babies are amazing beings and very resilient! Seizures sometimes happen from a lack of salt in the body. I know several babes that have come a little early, have had bumpy roads and are beating all expectations--and they're only 6 months old! many prayers
I do think that positive energy helps, and they and you will be in my thoughts. I'll light a healing candle later today for them, and I wish you a safe journey to their sides.
Congratulations to you and your family - a nephew, how wonderful! Sending good thoughts and prayers your way that he and Mom make a fast and full recovery.
Will look forward to photos and an update.
Mother and child are certainly in my prayers. I hope that all are well and home soon.
One prayer already offered up over here, and thank you for letting us know so we could.
