and so then I thought..................

My mind is wandering today....more so than usual and the goods I usually use to rein it in aren't quite up to snuff.........so what does that mean for you? It means you get to read what I'm thinking for the next few minutes during lunch.....
1. My youngest brother was married this past Saturday to a woman who I adore, and after meeting her family, I adore all of them as well, plus there are more people to start randomly knitting for....

that is the shawl I made for Margie to wear, she loved it and it looked absolutely stunning on her!











2. It's October and that means pumpkin patch. Typically I prefer to go every single weekend in October but things have been a bit hectic and so I must settle for this coming Saturday with D as my only jaunt.
3. I've been in a bit of a snit lately and haven't quite pin pointed why as soon as I know, it's possible I'll let you know.
4. Chocolate Pudding is pretty much the best lunch ever especially when paired with a sock that I am working on, or not working on at the moment.
5. My nephew is turning 5 today, I can't believe it's been five years!!
Happy Birthday Bird :)









6. I have some Halloween parachuter toys that I found the other day, I might let them fly a bit later...........











on that note, I'm going to finish my pudding and turn that heel..........

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...

24 Hours

I don't even really know how to tell you about our last weekend. We took a trip that lasted less than 24 hours from start to finish. Saturday morning we left our home at 8:30 a.m. with our friends and we caught a train to Portland, Oregon. We were going to watch our hockey team play against the Portland Winterhawks. It's important to note that Friday Portland and areas far south of Tacoma Washington were hit with a snow storm. But, we were taking the train so we weren't super concerned. I packed extra knit items and warm clothes just in case we needed it. Boy did we need it! As soon as we got out of the train station we snagged the first cab we saw and made it thru the snow covered streets to our hotel. Which was a short walk from Memorial Coliseum where the game was being played that night. Checked in, changed our clothes into our team colors, and headed out to walk around a bit and find some pub grub... That's when we realized we were in the m
