Oh, holy cats. Um.

Annie Modesitt, a knitting goddess whose knitting group I used to be in, has just recently learned that her husband has bone cancer. There's marrow transplants at the Mayo Clinic involved in the treatment. You can imagine how much fun that might be.

She's offering one of her knitting patterns, originally designed for a friend who was going to be attending the Emmy awards, for sale on the Web to raise money to deal with the non-medical side of the cancer treatment- child care, transportation to the Clinic, etc. It's a gorgeous dress pattern and it's priced at $4.50, so if you're at all interested in that sort of thing, have a look.

Thanks.

Wow. If I could knit, I'd be all over that dress.

The name jumped out at me because I'm making her scarf from Scarf Style. That sounds... bad. *goes to website*

Bummer! :( Her husband? That wouldn't happen to be L.E. Modesitt, Jr. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._E._Modesitt,_Jr.), the famous author, would it? Unlikely, since I think he lives in Cedar City now, and ... you don't?

No, no relation that I know of. Her husband used to work in television as a video producer and editor. Besides, Annie and her husband live in Minnesota these days, and I still live in Jersey, so either way it's still not the author.
