That's a swell post. And to think I didn't think you'd written one! Thanks again to everyone who helped me pull this off.

(how did I miss this post? I kept waiting and waiting, knowing Lynn would get it finished in time...and yes, she and her friends are all kinds of awesome!)

Lots of good requests to the Universe in your and your boys behalf whilst knitting the squares.. plus some very hefty "No more shit!"s.

Love that photo!

That blanket is just wonderful and you three look lovely under it. I am so glad that you know that you and your sons are loved by so many people and that you are not mourning alone.

Look at you three! How cute.

You deserve this and a lot more. It's great to read that you're feeling like you hit the end of the tunnel. Friends who love you sure do make the tunnels more bearable!

It's so good to hear that the weight has lifted and the sun is once again shining. I'm glad the blanket helped.

Love the picture of you and the boys. They are adorable!

I love that last picture, of you and the boys covered in the love we sent you. Lynn is pretty sneaky, isn't she? I was honored to be one of the knitters. I hope you feel our virtual hugs when you wrap yourself in the blanket, 'cause we are sending them in every stitch.

The best to all three of you!

You deserve the good things coming your way. That's what friends do when the going gets rough. I just experience the same thing and nothing in this life is as wonderful as having good friends.

So awesome. I'm glad you're feeling lighter, Carrie. Love really is a powerful force.

That really turned out wonderfully! The green one in the middle is from me (probably has a Kuhns label as some family from California sent it... so you see, there is one from India as well!

I hope that the blanket acts as a daily reminder to you (and your family) that you are loved and held the world round. xoxoxo

That cheesy *plaid* square? That's from me, and I knit lots of love and comfort into it. Lynn is all kinds of awesome, isn't she?
kmkat | Homepage | 10.18.09 - 10:16 pm | #

Hee! I've been really looking forward to seeing the finished blanket - I'm so glad I got to be a part of it. It's good to have evil masterminds who love you.

Whee! I see my square (the denim heart)! It's great the blanket turned out big enough for all 3 of you to snuggle under. That Lynn is a peach isn't she?

I'm so glad you've had friends and family to help you and the boys through some of the rough times. I hope the sun keeps shining for you.
