Finished Object

Yes it's a baby sweater.
No it's not for me.
Yes I am surrounded by pregnant women.
No these are not for sale.

Now onto the important part :)

Pattern: Puerperium Sweater
Designer: Kelly Booker
Yarn: Happy Feet DK
Size: Newborn to 6 weeks (thus the name)
Happy Meter: off the charts!

Like I posted yesterday, this is an very easy pattern to make and is a great introduction to top down knitting, buttonhole making, increases, knitting in the round (sleeves) and quick gratification since it's small and adorable.

I need to find the buttons for it but there is time for that.......Now I am off to finish my Autumn Vines Beret since the yarn arrived yesterday as well as the yarn for a secret baby gift :)
Happy Tuesday

P.S.
The baby spiders that were in my car yesterday are still going strong. As I told my friend Kim, it looked as if they had had a party in there during the day and were in fact continuing to do so..........I didn't see them this morning but there were wee baby webs all over the place that I had to take down while getting in the car.

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
