Busy...

But my shop sample for So Much Yarn in downtown Seattle is complete and ready for delivery!
Yarn is Berroco Ultra Alpaca
Size 10 needles
Very Cozy!

I'm wearing it now since my office clearly has the air conditioning turned on in it! Brrrrr.

Need to make another one for me!

I really like the cowl pattern, looks great, I used to have an office like that.
Saying Hi to you from Bothell/Kirkland we are off to Home Goods in Lynnwood (Thank you for the heads up) Joanne fabrics and Big lots with DIL, we have fun shopping trips, her first to Home Goods.

Ok Tell us what the pattern is.

Pattern is Faraway, So Close. A shawl pattern by Carina Spencer.

Don't forget Hobby Lobby...I've never been to home goods. I just recently heard about it!

Oh Shoot I forgot to take her there. We have them, the one we have the yarn is very so-so, but the other stuff is great!
Home Goods is still being shopped out, they cannot keep up with the demand yet. I chatted with the clerks and watched and as soon as they stocked people were filling their carts. I suggest if you go on a weekend go as soon as they open. Today we are heading into Redmond BF and Costco(Kirkland) and then they are off to Salish Lodge for an overnight and we get to babysit our 1 1/2yr old Granddaughter.
They liked Big Lots too, but I didn't find any great yarn in Lynnwood. JoAnnes was for fabric ideas for decorating.
If we check our Hobby Lobby I will give you info, it should be great though, ours is huge.
I love spending time with my DIL.
Will check out the pattern thankyou.

I go to Hobby Lobby all the time. If you are looking for a good yarn selection try Great Yarns (Everett) So Much Yarn (Seattle, north of pike place market above cost plus imports. Or Pacific Fabrics in Everet has a small but excellent selection of yarn. Have fun babysitting!

it's gorgeous!! I hear you about air conditioning being a totally valid reason for knits like this in the summer. Great colour!

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
