During the craziness of January, with all the theatre rehearsals, taekwondo classes and everything else I was trying to get done, I decided to make my Dad a blanket.
The treatment Dad is on, and the fact he has little blood, means my Dad stays cold. Well, honestly I could not let my Dad be cold. Yes, they have blankets in the house, but none made by me for Dad. So, early in January I started a blanket. I was really hoping to have it done by the weekend of the performance, so Mom could take it home with her. Well, I almost made that deadline, but then bronchitis reared its ugly head and I just couldn't focus on the blanket.
I did get the blanket done for a our trip up to see Dad in early February. It was the first time since Christmas we got to go up. (Play rehearsals were on the weekends too for this show.) I think my Dad liked the blanket. I made it blue, his favorite. I tried to make it long enough to cover those long legs of his! He did use the blanket that day as a pillow; we left it on the back of his chair. :)
