make that 9......

Over the weekend I not only added more yarn to my stash, which is going to get a going through this coming Saturday, I also added 2 more patterns to the list for 2011.....and I've taken a piece of advice from a couple other knitters.....1. I am going to try and be selfish and knit only for myself. This ones already gone down the crapper since I bought two different yarns to knit things for mom but she is exempt from these types of resolutions so in theory I haven't totally failed. 2. I am going to intermittently work on finishing all of my UFO's during this year along with the 9 sweaters I've decided to knit. Of course hats, sportweight socks, mittens, color-stranded cowls, and the like will be sprinkled about this lofty goal of mine but my hope is that by Christmas 2011 I will be sporting 9 new sweaters for myself at least............the new ones that I've added are
Liesl by Cocoknits using a sparklie kid silk mohair lace blend, held together with another lace weight in superwash merino.......I'll upload a picture of it all later.....
the second one is another by Cecily Glowik McDonald it's not published yet but I'm keeping a steady watch and I've already got the perfect yarn at home for it........
xoxo
happy monday all.......

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
