Throwing Caution to the wind.........

Women love their stylist. You put a certain level of trust into their hands and scissors when you plop down in that chair, and a good one will take you in looking frazzled from a long day at work, look at your limp, product laden hair, pulled back tight in a hair band (poor containment system) smile, ask how you have been, put a glass of wine in your hand and go to work. When you leave, you feel as if you could walk down the red carpet at the Grammys. That's a good stylist. I have maintenance issues with my hair. Truth be told, styling my hair is tedious and I put it right up there with sewing knit pieces together (seriously hate that) I've been known to let my hair go long enough that it looks as if took a hiatus and lived in the jungle for a few months. Then I make an appointment and lop it all off. This time I switched to a whole new salon because at my old salon I cancelled my last three appointments and felt a certain level of embarrasment. Doing a search online I turned up the split end salon, and they offer stylist profiles........here is the profile for my new stylist, Jill T.
Jill T.
I have been at THE SPLIT END SALONS since 1998.
I have been licensed since 1997.
I enjoy foiling, coloring and cutting. I attend various classes through out the year to keep up on the latest trends and fashion.
I like to knit, read, watch NASCAR races and spend time with my friends and family.
I didn't make that up, she does enjoy knitting and nascar! Crazy right?
So, in I go, plop down in the seat and 8 inches later I have a new do that barely fits in a pony tail. My head feels as if it lost 10 lbs, maybe I should have weighed myself before and after? hmmmm maybe next time but I doubt I'll publish the numbers.
I'm still working on a few things.
1. Fatima's Shawl
2. The Baby Sack
3. Other mysterious baby items :)
I'll try and take some progress photos tonight for you to see tomorrow......

Here's to a better hair maintenance schedule Jill.......... Love my summer do!

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
