Work in Progress.....

Well according to this photo I have two WIP's.....both of which I am enjoying immensely! It's a beautiful afternoon north of Seattle and for the first time since last summer the breeze carries more warmth and not the sting of winter! This is my number one favorite thing to do after work on Fridays, sit on my deck, knit something simple, and drink a beer(s). D is out at the race track so it's just me and the hounds tonight. Soon we're going to grab another beverage, some cheese & crackers and hunker down out here to work on this current project!
Ever since I joined Ravelry in 2008 I have been enamored with baby sleep sacks......I just love them so now I am making the first of many I am sure!
Pattern: the Ella and Grady Sleep Sack (that's right folks it's a twofer!)
Yarn: happy feet dk in a color I call Crayola Crazy!
Needles: 16" size 3 circulars

This is the Grady Sleep Sack the Ella one will be done next!
Later tonight when I hunker down with a movie I am going to knit a Rebecca Danger pattern I think I will do her chubby chirps! I have a lot of yarn leftover from Damiens blanket and snuggy so I think he should have a knit toy as well!
Happy Friday!
Cheers!

Mom......can you overnight me a hot dog from Gene & Judes in Chicago I saw you had a few!

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
