Finished Object

I finished this on Friday and since it was 70 degrees on Saturday the recipient put it on briefly to see how it fit and that was it......so you get a photo of a hat with my stylish pink plaid pj bottoms in it.........

Pattern: Hermione Hearts Ron by Christy Ayelsworth, Ravelry Link here
Yarn: Cascade 220 (164 yards people I can't stress this enough) in a teal blue usually less than $5.00 p/skein and it really only used 1 skein, talk about a great money saving gift!
Difficulty: I would say it's easy if you have a basic knowledge of cabling, yarn overs and general decreasing, plus as with all knitting knowing how to count goes a long way.....(i only point this out because sometimes I forget)
Anyway, Molly was thrilled and I think it will get a lot of use, especially when her family goes to their mountain cabin in the winter :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend.........

Julie: I seem to be leaning toward greens and blues lately for accesories........ @Kelly: Sometimes I'm so far off my counting that I don't even trust my row counter!!

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...

24 Hours

I don't even really know how to tell you about our last weekend. We took a trip that lasted less than 24 hours from start to finish. Saturday morning we left our home at 8:30 a.m. with our friends and we caught a train to Portland, Oregon. We were going to watch our hockey team play against the Portland Winterhawks. It's important to note that Friday Portland and areas far south of Tacoma Washington were hit with a snow storm. But, we were taking the train so we weren't super concerned. I packed extra knit items and warm clothes just in case we needed it. Boy did we need it! As soon as we got out of the train station we snagged the first cab we saw and made it thru the snow covered streets to our hotel. Which was a short walk from Memorial Coliseum where the game was being played that night. Checked in, changed our clothes into our team colors, and headed out to walk around a bit and find some pub grub... That's when we realized we were in the m
