Some of you may remember from an earlier post that my friend Allison came to visit me for lunch while I was at Duke and taught me how to crochet a chain stitch. (And just so my other girlfriends who made a trip to Duke don’t feel slighted their names didn’t make it to the blog…Kathy, Dianne, Paula, and Sonya came to visit for a couple of hours as well. And of course, my friend Claire stayed with me at Duke the second week I was there; Mike’s cousin Roz was there with me the first week.) Anyway…my girlfriends came up with the idea of creating “Mike Bracelets” since I was ending up with an entire skeen of yarn transformed into one gigantic chain stitch. Lance Armstrong has yellow, breast cancer has pink, and now Mike Starnes has slate blue. So, if you would like a piece of the crocheted yarn to wear around your wrist in honor of Mike, just send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the address below, and one will be mailed to you. All of the “bracelets” have been crocheted by me, so I can’t promise they’re all beautiful. C’mon and cut me a little slack—I just learned how to do this eight days ago.

This is awesome news Diane! Tell Mike we love him and to try to take it easy and not run a marathon next week. He's probably well enough to go snowboarding though...

Diane,
I was wondering what you were ever going to do with one single strand of yarn nine yards long. What a perfect idea. I will wear mine as a reminder of Mike and what prayer can do. Take care
Love,
Mona
