To shop and just 'be'.
The Tangled Skein was instrumental in my maintaining a positive attitude during and after chemo. It is a warm welcoming place that feels safe.
As most know I have suffered some cognitive impairment from the chemo and my ability to learn, remember and just think has been comprimised.
I found the TS and began to take knitting classes there. After the first class I came home in tears because I just could not 'get it' and I felt like I had no brain at all. However, I kept going back and the gals (Lori and Anette) were awesome and supportive. I continue to have a difficult time 'getting it' but with their help I have been able to knit knit knit. Not as professionally as these gals, but it sure is fun.
SO, I wanted to share this site with you all. I am very appreciative to them for hosting a money raising event for The Cure.
If you are a knitter, or know someone who is...please remember the Tangled Skein.
Hummmm, I am going to just try those danged socks and see how I do...lots of different stitches going on in them. If I am able to complete them I will certainly brag about it here!
A cure will come and with your help we will get there sooner than later.

By the way both Lori and Anette are teachers and both had Lenny in class. Interesting huh? Rachel I think Lori had you as well.
