Lost...

I don't know how it happened, when it happened, or why but it's gone. I have searched everywhere for it and it's like it vanished into thin air......there are pieces of it laying about, sadly discarded around my house and I touch them thinking to myself 'why?' Did I abandon it? Did it feel neglected? I don't know what to do...I can try and force myself thru this, the 'fake it till you make it theory' but I seem to be lacking the umpf to do so...I find myself, laying in bed at night watching TV and NOT knitting..........hopefully this is a phase...I just don't have it in me...I crank out a few rows and then 'blah' toss it aside. I pick up a different project, knit a row, 'meh' toss it aside.........repeat night after night.

it's a little bit scary

It looks like it'll be okay though, because Steven over at Bitches Get Stitches got his groove back so I am confident that mine will be back too (hopefully sooner than later) Hey, Steven!! If you see my mojo over in your neck of the woods can you Bitch slap it back to Washington? That would be great!!

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
