Stunned Stupid.......

As I was walking thru my house last night I glanced at my yarn stash.
It's no secret that I have a HUGE stash. Not only huge but it has a nice variety of fibers, gauge, and color. I glance at it a lot, it's hard not too, it practically slaps me on my butt everytime I walk by it.......it's possible I've gone round the bend when it comes to yarn buying.
Here is a typical conversation when someone comes to my house for the first time.....

"wow, you have a lot of yarn, are you going to make something out of it all?"
"yes"
"Do you think you have too much yarn?"
"possible"
"how come you don't knit a project and finish it, then go buy yarn for your next project?"
*head spinning off my shoulders as I get light headed at the thought*
"Because, that's crazy..........."
"No, crazy is staring you right in the face"
"and keeping your head warm"
"touche"

Never question the knitter from whom you've received knitted goodness, that well can dry up very quickly when the wool is rubbed the wrong way.

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
