april is the cruellest month

so last night i took the super-secret father's day knitting project home with me because i was meeting up at the gem with rosary to discuss our "provisional start-up chapter" of hands & voices, so i thought i could get some knitting done on the sly, and maybe some tips on how to handle the dreaded colourwork.

so i was half-worried that tg would randomly come by and see my super-secret project, and guess what? he did! and guess why? because he'd got a call that my mum is in the hospital, so he walked over with young h to tell me.

i don't think he noticed the knitting, really.

it looks like mum will be okay - it is an inner-ear infection as opposed to a stroke like we had feared - although may have to stay in the hospital for as long as two months. we'll go up on friday to check up on her.

meanwhile, all other craft projects are on hold until i make some headway on the super-secret father's day project. it is not even 5% done, and i've been at it for over a month, and have less than two months to go... i really need to do ten rows a day every day without fail, and i've been doing two or three on weekdays only with a week-long gap or two due to sickness. sigh.
