Off My Game...

Not surprising though really...
At the beginning of the holidays I was whacked with a viscious cold virus and even today still have a lingering cough.
I never really got into the holiday spirit.
I've been knitting but not documenting any of it.
My Ravelry hasn't been updated in ages.
My Christmas tree is still up. (and yes I'm still plugging it in at night)

My current project is one for Miss B. I am making Girlfriends Swing Coat by Wendy Bernard. I'm using Lion Brand Wool-Ease for her in Azaela Pink. It's lovely and I'm almost done with the main body. Thanks to a marathon of 'Game of  Thrones' yesterday I was able to work my way down to the beginning of the seed stitch border.

No I don't have a photo of my progress.
Yes I'll take one today.

I've also joined the 2012 Stash Busting Challenge put on by Kelly P of Creating a Family home...
I have an obscene amount of yarn.

obscene.

I'll take a picture of that too.

The Challenge: To knit only from what you have in your stash as of December 31, 2011. If all I knit were a pair of socks per month I'd be set for at least six years!

I'm excited to dive into my big trunk and start pulling projects that I carefully planned out last year...

Join us! Lets see what we can all get done in 2012!

I promise, pictures later today!

Happy New Year

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
