I hope this following has something to do with knitting, but even if it doesn't, I want to tell it.
I celebrated my 36th birthday last week and had a wee party to celebrate it, but nothing had prepared me for one heckuva present the women of Finnish SF fandom (and two stalwarthy men) had prepared for me. A quilt the size of our bed (200x250 cm), with the words "Live long and prosper". It's warm, it's cuddly and it looks great.
They had started making this amazing present in August when the news of my cancer got out and by chance, luck or strangest of co-incidences, managed to finish it just in time for my birthday - and the very news of my body getting rid of cancerous cells.
It looks "way kewl" and can be seen in here: http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~kisu/valmis_peitto2.jpg
I'm still quite flabbergasted and (almost) speechless). 44 women and men (them two) made this apparently under my very nose and I never knew. Brilliant and stupefying.
