Help me make her smile, keep her warm, and feel my love

I need your help with some ideas.

 

My family has been given bad news. My aunt, who is overseas,

has cancer for the 3rd time. As of right now, All I know, is that it is a bone cancer and it is terminal.

 

If you were in this position, what would you make?

oh sonia hon, i am sooo sorry, i would make her a prayer shawl and have her wrap it around herself and know people are praying for her , or maybe a small afghan she can wrap herself up in. god bless sweetie:hug:hug:hug:manyheart:manyheart:manyheart

Vicki is exactly right......a nice shawl that you have said prayers over while crocheting would be perfect. And know that every prayer you speak is echoed by all of us for her well being.

Thank you both. I really appreciate it.

I would like to make her a few different shawls, and a couple of lapghans. The shawls will give her the hugs that I cannot.

I am going to try to make the newlywed shawl for her. I just picked up the Amazing Lace book, (chan) But, I don't think the shawls are warm enough.

If you guys have links to nice shawl patterns,please let me know. Or anything else that you would think would be a good item to make her.

Sonia, that's just awful news. You're in my thoughts.

 

We just got some very similar news about DH's grandmother, who is basically DH's mother, at least, the only real mother he's known. The poor love just got over heart surgery to be told she is riddled with cancer, and that she only has a couple of months left with us.

 

I too would love to make her something, but I'm very slow, so I wouldn't get anything done in time.

 

I hope your aunt loves the shawl, it will say what you can't face to face.

HUGS, I sent you a PM

I would make a blanket or a shawl How about crocheting a heart with arms and calling it a hug from you in the meantime to show you are thinking of her. then when the shawl/blanket is done send that too. Thinking of you all sian xxx

My prayers are with you and your family. I think the seraphina shawl is beautiful. Worked in the right yarn and a smaller hook to make it less "holey" would make it warm and snuggly so she could feel wrapped in your love and prayers.

This pineapple table topper makes a great and warm shawl when done in WW and with a goodly sized hook.

You and she are now in my prayers.

I'm sorry to hear about the bad news. Lion Brand has some lovely but easy to do prayer/healing shawls on it's website in the free pattern listing. My thoughts will be with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt. My niece has bone cancer, she just finished her last chemo treatment last week and she is doing great. My prays are with you and your family. Keep the faith Miracles can and do happen.

An afghan to keep her warm would be lovely.

I am so sorry to hear this awful news. I will say a prayer for your Aunt! I my opinion, I think a Shawl would be the way to go. :hug
