Below you will see the first Stose Socklette size 5 1/2 as compares to my size 10.

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

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...

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
