knitted goodness.......

I'm on a baby knitting kick lately with so many friends expecting wee ones or having just had a wee one therefore I've forged a new path for 2011 knitting that has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the rest of MY world......which is fine because it's not in my nature to with hold all that is soft warm and fuzzy from little ones who we can force into knitwear because they haven't yet learned the art of saying NO! I don't expect to be on this kick for long since I do have some things I have to get done for myself and I am anxious to get started on them.....However, here is where I am at with the knitting for the babes.......Yesterday I started a little shrug for Elaina and I am almost done with that...you can find the pattern for $4.50 here.

I received a photo text the other day of my Nephew Dog Rupert and apparently he is trying to steal Margie's cowl that I made her for Christmas.......He looks so dashing in it that I think I'm going to have to make him one for Christmas this year......
I was going to load a photo of it but it's not letting me add another at this time so.....I'll post it in a minute with some other photos :)
So, Happy Friday and have a safe and happy weekend!

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
