Albert the Pomeranian

My friends own 2 adorable tiny dogs. First you have Dewberry, the Chihuahua who was raised in a home with carpet and now that my friends have bought a new home and put in hardwood floors he's petrified to walk on them so they carry him from carpet to carpet. Then there is Albert the Pomeranian. He is super fluffy and after doing some research into Angora rabbits we've come to the conclusion that he must have some Angora in his bloodline. Early in December I knit a few shrugs, one was stolen by my mom, 1 was knit too tight, and a 3rd was knit to short. The tight one when to Lori, the short one went to Carrie, who when she tried it on at home made the discovery that Albert loves wool. He rubbed himself silly on it. So I took a bunch of Burly Spun scrap yarn and knit him a little cloth swatch. This is the result. My favorite part is Dewberry making a play for the cloth and Carrie's laugh at the end.

Happy New Year

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?

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...

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

CarmelKnits, etc.
