Finally. What a relief to get Dad squared away at the hospital. I ran errands and then just cooked and relaxed and watched football last night. Oh, and worked a bit more on my first Fetching. I'm nearly done with the first one. I am little concerned about picking up the stitches for the thumb. I knit them on waste yarn as instructed but used very thin waste yarn. Oh well, I'll just jump in. I'm sure it'll work out fine.
I also charted what I have been trying to do with that raglan Noro sweater I'm winging. After charting it out a couple times I see that it's not really possible to do what I am envisioning. So, I think what might work is to p3 k2 p3 starting one stitch before the increase or one stitch after it (only on the body stitches, not the sleeves) and then every six rows do a twisted stitch on the k2, which should give it the appearance of a cable. At least I hope so. I don't have to have to rip it out a 3rd time. And I want to get this going so I can take another run at the Ogee Tunic.
It was pouring rain this morning. Shadow came down for a doggie date today - A's wife brought her down at 6:15 am right in the middle of a downpour! She was soaked but she and Tink went romping through the house. It'll be good for Tink to have company all day and the same for Shadow.

Sounds like your Dad is doing okay...don't forget to get lots of rest yourself as you need to be well to help him out. My thoughts are with you and the family. Dad sounds tough, it'll all be well. :)
