Yarn, Kids and Horses

Just writings about life as a mom, including my 18 year old daughter who is bipolar; our horses and my love of all things yarn and knitting, especially socks!

Knitting is good. I'm so glad I knit, it really helps sometimes when things are rough. It gives me something else to concentrate on. I really hate bipolar disorder!!! Now that Lexi is 18, her illness hasn't gone away, but most of our supports have. And of course, there are the HIPPA laws. I really think they are a bunch of crap. When you are still responsible for your child, but have no right to their medical info, it makes no sense.

I also finished Diagonal Lace socks, from "Socks from the Toe-up," by Wendy Johnson. Yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy in cool fire. I took the picture in one of our bushes, because the color of the socks looks like the flower color.
