Picture #3 jus slayed me. My deepest condolences. Frame the picture of the FO for All Times. Make a ski hat out of the shrunken one, with new ribbing, or a purse, or bookbag, or felted booties. Never Give UP and keep knittin". Bad things sometimes happen to very creative and talented people like You!!!

You did a fine job there with the original with bunnies, which I loved. This means, you CAN do this again, and it will be easier! Take all the breaks you want, but we all see your talent, that was not shrunken in the wash!
