advanced apology...

Is what I did last night. My friend Alyssa who I met on the Breast Cancer 3-Day and who was my tent mate is having a baby. (remember I told you that I'm surrounded by family and friends having babies right now) Well, with the wedding shawl, the knitters elbow, some WIP's, I just haven't gotten into the baby knitting groove again...It's coming I know it is, but knowing that Alyssa know's I knit, that I think she might follow my blog, she see's photos on Facebook, I had to email her last night and let her know that while I have many wonderful things planned for Baby K, they will not be at the baby shower. I felt like a forewarning was required based on all the posts and pictures of baby stuff I knit for Peanut, Damien, and Mr. Oliver...
What helps is that Alyssa and I are both on Pinterest so I see the stuff she is pinning for baby k in the knitwear department and I've collected a little file for him...Are you on Pinterest? If you aren't you should be because it's amazing! I have found many many wonderful things on there to do with the home, clothing, and recipes....

I know you are all waiting for the Nacho Getter pattern but I need to clarify the story first and finish writing out the pattern which I plan on doing tonight...I'll post it along with a better photo of the mitts tonight or tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow is Fatima's Wedding and we'll get to see the shawl in action! I can't wait...Then D has football, I have a baby shower, and then next week is our anniversary! Oh and Sunday night I'm making a very special treat for a work pot luck! If you were at Evergreen Speedway last Saturday you tried them...Mom you were horrified by them but I bet if they were on your counter you couldn't resist... Stay Tuned for that!
Happy Friday all

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...

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?

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
