You don't have to wait for fall -- just crank up the A/C and wear em now! That's what I was doing last summer when I knitted a pair of socks each month for the whole year!

@Kelly: traditionally houses in the NW don't have air conditioning because it never gets that hot for that long here in the summer.
@Lynn: So excited for Banks, but equally excited for the Hydro races tomorrow...
@Julie: I have been seeing this yarn around ravelry and just fell in love with it however it corresponded with the time I fell out of love with sock knitting...the fact that I knit short socks makes it easier...

My kiddoes are going to Sun Lakes the week after labor Day with a repeat group. My son misses Banks but there are no accomidations that fit all the aspects of the group. Boats tents cabins pool golf and dogs. I was thinking of Banks last week and how much we miss it.
That sock yarn is marvelous, love love the way they turned out.

I guess they have had these reservations for years where they are going, I think there is soething like 30-50 people.
Me I still like Banks best. if we ever decide to go again i will contact you to see who has cabins that allow dogs. Got to have our "special babies' along with our regular ones.

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...

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
