When it all comes unraveled

Sometimes something wonderful falls apart. The worst happens. It doesnt seem fair or right or kind.  Not really talking about knitting this time.

My wonderful husband of 10 years died last Monday. Its hard to know what to say, its so awful. And I feel a strange combination of raw and numb. All I know is the world feels wrong. I loved him tremendously and I want him to be with me.

The kids are sad, I am sad. The Memorial is tomorrow, and I feel like Im in a nightmare that wont end.

Im using Barbara Walkers top-down knitting book to design a sweater. Its the softest and gentlest Alpaca you can imagine. It will hug me and keep me warm.

I dont really know how to repair knitting very well. When theres a hole, when something is torn away. Maybe I will learn how to patch things enough to keep going. Maybe someday I can imagine things whole.

Sure love these kids
