this is getting a bit ridiculous.....

I knit a sweater.....a sweater I love. I love it so much I wear it once a week. I even threw caution to the wind and tossed it in the washer so that I wouldn't have to risk the dry cleaner doing a number on it and I really wasn't in the mood to do a handwash....it turned out okay, you know why? Because that sweater loves me back. It makes me look good, it makes me feel good. Lots of people have made it and it makes them look good too, but I have an issue that's been stuck in my arse like a thorn for the past few months since I finished my beautiful sweater...........
While the designer is someone whose patterns I love, she has marked every sweater on Ravelry as a 'favorite' of hers, everyones that is but mine...........
and I have to say I'm a little bugged by this.....more so than I probably should be......but annoyed I am. I even emailed her and told her how much I loved knitting the sweater, how much I love the sweater....Nothing....not even a 'thank you, i'm glad you like it'
I really need to get over it, but everytime I log on and see another round of the sweaters knit by others marked as a favorite it sends me into a whole new spin........I just wanted to share, I could probably stand on my soap box all day ranting and raving about how mine is beautiful and wonderful and there are some that, well, some people just knit ugly and that's fine but if you're going to 'fave' that, then you should fave mine.......maybe she knows me from a past life and I tangled her yarn, lord knows the thought has crossed my mind now....
anyway.....i'll step down now and hope that maybe someday she will give me the validation that I seek, the recognition that she has bestowed upon everyone else, until then I'll knit someone elses patterns..........

This is one of the reasons I avoid marking any project using a design of mine as a favorite. I'm always afraid I'll miss one and hurt the knitter's feelings.

Maybe the designer just didn't see you've knit her design?

I would agree with you Jane and even give her the benefit of the doubt, except that I emailed her about it and still nothing..... :) It's okay though. I love the sweater and I love her designs.....

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
