Non-meme

And in the interest of posting some non-meme* content:

Mrs. Fontaine, my beloved high-school chemistry teacher, has cancer.  She is quite spunky and doing very well.  There are numerous prayer lines in progress for her, and I've decided to contribute, as well.  I'm going to bag Tomato for awhile and start a prayer shawl, namely this one, which is actually just an Estonian lace stole, but quite suitable for my purposes.  I have a skein of Skacel Merino Lace, light pink, that I will wind tonight, and then I shall begin.

Also, I googled "prayer shawl knitting pattern" (creative, n'est ce pas?) and came up with no less than 6 links for the Lion Brand Homespun prayer shawl pattern**.  Gag me with a spoon!  If someone gave me a shawl knit from LB Homespun, I think I would become sicker, actually.  I believe that there are some nice acrylics, and I am certainly anti-wool for myself***, but Lion Brand Homspun doesn't really do it for me.  I am amazed that Homespun can do it for anyone, actually.  But whatever flies your plane, right?

And a total non-sequitur:  Olivia is engaged in a battle royale with the assorted boxes sitting in our living room at the moment.  Empty boxes.  Unmoving boxes.  I think she might be seeing ghosts.  Weirdo.

*Firefox does not think "meme" is a word.
**It is so not to my taste that I refuse to link to it.
***Yes, I realize that I will be knitting this shawl with wool.

prayer, knitting, olivia
