God bless friends with little feet, hand knit socks go so much faster.......




My friend Marcy and I are going to be doing a group project, also known as a knit-along of a sock pattern called Nasturtium that I found here.. http://throughtheloops.typepad.com/through_the_loops/

What a great site. The yarn is from http://www.angoravalley.com/ and the colorway is appropriately named, NASTURTIUM.... The project starts on Tuesday during our lunch break.. as it progress' I will post pictures of my sock and Marcy's.






Here is a delicious wool that was given to my by my sister-in-law for Christmas, it came with 3 others just like it. I hit Ravelry today to see if there was a scarf pattern that would strike my fancy, there wasn't an actual pattern but a member on there had knit up a scarf that was exactly what I was looking for so she said that she would write it up for and I can look for it tomorrow. I'm pretty excited about that.....

Other than that, the rest of the weekend will be devoted to organizing my office (still) and the stash.....knitting as much as I can...spending time with my husband and dogs, oh yes and getting this blog set up the way I envision it.......

Happy Friday

I'm halfway thru the second to last short row repeat... Just in time to get used to trailing three balls around with me and my Color Affection. Needless to say I'm pretty excited to be finished with this and wear it! Happy Sunday!

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June.
