My concern: How do you show your friend dealing with a life altering illness that you care?
My daughter and I discussed my desire to support Lisa and let her know she is in my prayers. My inclinations lean toward doing something and we came up with the idea of making a blanket of portable size so she could take it along to chemo.
A few years ago, many volunteers offered their talents and time to create a large version - The Hope Blanket. Donations were made the American Cancer Society and the blanket was given away. Luckily, I still had the patterns and enough of the original yarn to make this for Lisa. She actually was a contributor and her square designs are included in her new blanket.
If you have a minute, please stop and say a little prayer for those who are dealing with any type of cancer. Before you say 'Amen', please include a little blessing for Lisa.

Beautiful blanket - I'm sure it will comfort her during her recovery. What a good friend you are!
What a wonderful gift. To be able to literally wrap yourself in love and comfort.
I'm sure Lisa realizes what a special friend you are every time she wraps your beautiful blanket around herself. You're always with her. I'll say special prayers for her.
Awesome.
I am in love with this blanket. I am just starting the Baby's Textured Blanket in the "itty bitty nursery" book by Susan B. Anderson. This one will be next. Wow!
