I have mentioned before that one of our dear DDILs has breast cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy now, to be followed by radiation. She has been incredible, and all of the family has been constant in our support of her in whatever way we can. We have the pink plastic bracelets, the pink ribbon pins, pink t-shirts, etc., etc. I thought I would like to make her an afghan that had pink in it. I finished crocheting it last week, and she is very happy with it.
