It's been a weekend.
On Saturday, I learned that my much loved grandmother died. No, this is not unexpected, given that she had to be in her 90s*. Still, I am sad. I'll also be making a quick trip to the 'burgh later in the week, which is needed, mind, but is throwing havoc into the schedule.
So I made pale yellow pom-poms**, whose purpose will be revealed later:
Plus, I received a mysterious envelope in the mail:
And in it was this:
Now I just need to find the 124 other people Brenner sent this to so that I can know the whole story...
--------------------------------------------
* I'm not sure where in her 90s, tho. She seems to have made a point of keeping her age/date of birth a mystery.
** Held in this uber-blurry photo by child #1 whose school dismissed them early today because of the impending ice storm. It's been a Monday.

I am so sorry to hear of your grandmother's death. There is no good time to lose someone you love.

I'm so very sorry about your grandmother. My dad passed away in November and it sucks. Jusr know you are not alone. And by the way, you made me knit a mitten this weekend. Now that I know I can do it I'll get started on a pair for your tree. Also I learned I knit crazy tight. I am going up at least two needle sizes, but the pattern you linked to was very clearly written and mostly easy to follow.
