In the midst of a knitting frenzy.....

My friend Carrie emails me and says......................
Carrie: Can you make this for me?
Me: Make what?
Carrie: A Snood........
Me: Of course
Carrie: good, I want it to look like this.........
Me: That's a cowl
Carrie: They call it a snood
Me: They are silly a snood is totally different
Carrie: But can you make it?
Me: No problem.......
Carrie: Cool. I want it fast......so I'm going to put some pressure on you for it.........
Me: Okie Dokie...........(totally horrified because I have Post Traumatic Knitting Disorder when it comes to items for Carrie, aka PTKD)
and
Voila
The Knitting Sweatshops first Pattern..............
The Carrie Cowl inspired by some over priced machine knit seam showing piece.........




The written piece is coming soon. I know a ton of people who come in to So Much Yarn are looking for just this so I'm going to write it up as a freebie for the shop and also to post on Ravelry!



















On another note, this is the weekend for the So Much Yarn knitting retreat. I will be blogging from there so stay tuned for photos of knitters in all states of dress and sobriety.....and I promise....No Knit Underwear!

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...
