Always...

I always feel a little sadness when I wrap up a knitted gift to give away. You spend so much time with the project and the joy you feel when it's all done and put together is hard to put into words... I have a harder time with knitted toys because they take on a personality as they come together.

All the sadness however is replaced with joy when you see the look on the recipients face as they open their gift. I can't wait to see Boyfriend's face, as well as his parents, when he opens up his gift today and see's Jerry.

Happy Sunday!

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...
