Cam's couch throw and surgery

This was a Christmas gift that didn't get finished and Im trying my hardest to have it completed by Feb. 13th when Cam comes to have his ear surgery. Im really enjoying the textures of this wool and the combination of colours will look great with his chocolate brown walls and tan couch.

I purchased this from my local knitting store "Spun Fibre Arts" and the owner had this yarn made in Italy exclusively for her store. The Yarns are a nice combination of 100% silk, 100% cotton and 98% alpaca mixed with 2% nylon.

I can picture my boy wrapped in this on his couch drinking a warm drink from starbucks, and I want to be able to put it over him when I bring him home from the hospital. I'm more concerned about this surgery then he is. It doesnt seem to matter how old you children get they are still little to you. He is my first born and 23 years old but when push comes to shove he becomes my little boy again in my heart.

We are not sure how it happened but he ended up with a bad earache early in the fall. It wouldn't go away so he went to the emergency room as he was feeling quite sick and dizzy. It turned out that he had a massive hole in his eardrum. After seeing a specialist and the specialist unsuccessfully trying some procedure in his office to fix it, it was decided that he would need to have surgery. The waiting list in the city he lives in was one year but he could have the proceedure done at my local hospital. So he will come the night before and then stay a few days with me. Im sure I will drive him nuts fussing over him.

Back to my needles I go!!
