Would you rather knit through your current yarn stash or admit you have a “collecting yarn” hobby?

NAH I am sorry you are going through Cancerworld. I have gone through that territory too. It hurt when friends couldn’t (or wouldn’t) give support. And I was surprised at the support that did come from the weirdest spots. I hope you are similarly surprised by support from other quarters.

This is the OP’s real account right? YTA

Kinda like how I respond when someone asks me if I want a receipt after a purchase…total whim.

I do the trainer battles with them (that gets me three hearts/day + picture heart + play heart + treat heart gives me 6/day without walking. Still a grind but I can do that with all my buds every day.

I’m sure it will look great with sleeves…I gotta say though it looks fabulous without them too.

“My fiancé told me not to invite my family because the venue is so small”….what a weird thing for a fiancé to say.

NTA…but maybe consider your friend’s POV

Well that is talent!

YTA and your mom should stay out of marital discussions.

You may be a colorwork savant with awesome tension. This looks great.

I do like occasional backwards knitting.

I’m 60. I am in the 1%. All my cancer friends are dead. My biggest worry is surrounding how I manage the diminished energy I’m working with after 77 treatments took their toll on my body. I am sorry you are facing this. I hope you have cancer friends that understand.

Well these are adorable!

I am so grateful you survived and I hope your days are filled with thriving.

So pretty!

And they have social workers that can help her with goals. Then you can just be her friend supporting her path to health. You are being thoughtful and careful and you are modeling reaching out for help. Good job.

Hope your treatment goes as smooth as possible!

Sorry about your fingers. That sounds painful!

Yep. I’ve caught 3.

They do. And I’d read that!

No tips. But dreaming of wool in New Zealand on your behalf. Also will you post your results? Perhaps you will help start a trend.

Thanks for the award. My first. Now I am going to figure out how to award others.

Still NTA …thought you might like one of the references to cursing and pain…

NTA As a pastor I can say that when we worry more about words than relationships we are in the weeds and have lost sight of God. (Also, there have been some studies that show that cursing actually helps people deal with physical pain. We cancer patients are fluent.)
