Call to Serve and new books coming too!

I'm so  happy about my book, Call to Serve: Military Dishcloth Knit Patterns.  This booklet contain dishcloth patterns that are for each branch of the military: Navy, Air Force, Army, Marine, Coast Guard, Sea Bees, Eagle and Eagle in Flight.  The next booklet coming out will be Disabled Dishcloths.  This booklet will contain my Blind with Cane and two Guide Dog dishcloth patterns.

Following that, there will be several more booklets released.  My In Flight Dishcloth booklet will contain the patterns for Flutterby Fairy, Hummingbird, Butterfly and Witch in Flight. Dishcloth Fun will include Think Red Poisy, Big Rig, and four more random patterns. I will update later as this is finished. Bookmark Fun will include several bookmark patterns. This is just a sampling of what is to come.

As soon as all the books in the Knitting Simple Seires is edited and published, I will work on crochet patterns too! I'm currently working on a new lace shawl knit pattern as well as these booklets. I hope to have a new knit loom pattern posted for free here soon as well.

Life is busy, but so worth it! Thank you for following.

EggNog Fudge Recipe

From http://www.recipegirl.com/

Yield: 30 - 40 pieces

Ingredients

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup dairy eggnog

10.5 ounces white chocolate bars, chopped into small pieces

1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg, plus a little more for the top of the fudge

One 7 ounce jar marshmallow creme

1 tsp rum extract

Directions

1. Line an 8 or 9-inch square pan with foil and let it hang over the sides. Butter the foil.

2. In a heavy, 3-quart saucepan combine sugar, butter and eggnog. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 8 to 10 minutes over medium heat or until a candy thermometer reaches 234°F, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.

3. Using a wooden spoon, work quickly to stir in chopped white chocolate and nutmeg until chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in marshmallow creme and rum extract. Beat until well blended and then pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle a little freshly ground nutmeg on top. Let stand at room temperature until cooled. Refrigerate if you’d like to speed up the process.

4. When completely cool, cut into squares. Store in a covered container.

Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis

Five years ago I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.  I did not think anything about it.  Yes, I had heard the studies about joint deterioration and how this is a disease of crippling capabilities.  I really did not believe it.

Two years ago I started into what could be called "flares".  I had little nodes on my feet that left both of my feet looking like they had been smashed.  Bruising was horrible, I could not walk or even wear my shoes.  I was experiencing terrible fatigue, pain in my joints, swelling and fever-type feelings.  I was at a loss of what to do.  I continued trying to live my life as best I could.

Finally, I was scheduled to see another  Rheumatologist last month.  After many tests, medical records referrals and discussions I have my diagnosis and a start to treatment...NOT Rheumatoid Arthritis as the old Rheumatologist told me, but instead Fibromyalgia.

I was very happy that I did not have RA, but very upset at the previous Specialist's mis-diagnosis.  For the last five years I have been trying to maintain and have been trying to work out my own treatment.

So, long story short...I have developed a chart for monitoring Fibromyalgia (but can be used to monitor RA as well).  Simply change the Daily / Weekly Title to your name, Place in the date and Give to your Doctor to assist in your medical treatment.  This form is also available in MS Word (specify 2003 or 2007 version) if you email me at AutumnRa@gmail.com.
