Blocking Day!

Sadly though I've been done with this shawl for a while now and just needed a block of time where I could monopolize the dining room table block it...

Pattern is Citron knit in Cascade Eco Wool which is Aran weight. The original pattern calls for lace...

Pattern designed by Hilary Smith-Callis and the original version is free on Knitty I believe the winter 2009 issue.

If you want to do it bigger you can purchase Citron Grande on Ravelry in Hilary's store and she's done all the math for you... Or just knit it in a heavier weight yarn as I did...

Hilary is one of my favorite designers and I've purchased many of her patterns... If you've received the new Knit Picks catalog you'll see two of her newest designs featured... One of them being the cover. I think I'll be buying that soon, there are a few people I know who would love it!

I'm so excited for this to be dry! It's blustery and rainy up here today and I want to be wrapped up in it! (taking a nap preferably)

Gabby was supervising while I was pinning it out...

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...
