Finding out you have a food allergy can be devastating.

Finding out you have a food allergy can be devastating. I think my first thought was, "What does that mean?" You ask your doctor and he says just avoid that food. It's just a skin test. They aren't entirely accurate.

I am going to attempt to give you ideas and recipes on how to avoid corn. It can be quite the challenge.

Sorry that my blog is evolving into a little bit of everything in life.

Knitted Shrug

Just wanted to post a pic of my new shrug I finished yesterday. I love it!
Pattern:  http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/comfy-shrug Caron simply soft Light peach yarn. Not corn free needs to be washes a few times to get the starch out, but is very soft yarn. 

I will post a picture later.  I have also been making fingerless gloves like this. http://www.caron.com/projects/ss/ss_SS12_fingerless_gloves.html 
I have to add my Grandma Gerrie and her sisters are my knitting inspiration. I figure if they could knit just about anything so can I. I remember my poncho in elementary school that my grandma made me. I received an afghan that she had started before she died of lung cancer in 1999. I finished it several years later. Its big enough to fit my queen bed. My inspiration.
