Things...

Mr. Brown hoping that I'll feed him two hours early instead of finishing the row I was knitting...
1. I'm still working on the first sleeve of Miss A's frock. Not a shocking declaration I suppose, seeing as how knitting sleeves is like a second form of torture for me... It follows closely behind filing. I hate filing with a passion that if harnessed with the right attitude could bring Peace and Love to the entire world.

2. I've probably mentioned this in the past but I'm a serious homebody. I love to just relax and be loungey at home with the dogs and husband. It conflicts with my need to socialize. This girl can only socialize so many days in a row before she gets cranky and just needs a evening at home... I think the max amount of nights in a row you can get me out is three before my less savory side comes out. D might argue that that number is actually less.

3. I learned something new on Valentine's day this year. Apparently the thing to do with your Valentine is go eat sushi, How did I learn this? D and I went out for sushi to our little quiet neighborhood Korean owned sushi joint. A place where we always sit at the bar and converse quite poorly with the Sam the Sushi Man. Not this time... we were relegated to a table far from the action and by the door... Why sushi anyway? Isn't the night supposed to end with kisses, cuddles and love and now you're tossing in that fresh just eaten toro (fatty tuna) breath.

4. If you aren't following the blog Witty in the City I suggest you start immediately. Not only is her dog Stella adorable the recipes she posts are simply amazing.  I recommend her Crispy Chicken with New Potatoes, One Pot Chicken and Rice, and Slathered Chicken Wings. However after browsing all the recipes on the site there isn't much there that I won't eat...

5. It may be 39 degrees and pelting rain outside but I just made my camping reservations for July. I already feel warmer just thinking about it...

6. As soon as I finish Miss A's frock I have a sweater to start for my sister-in-law that she picked out over Christmas (sorry) and for the first time in 5 years I'm going to knit something in pieces, not top down or seamless... I also have a plan to knit four bunnies for Easter to leave in Phoenix when all the kids are at my mom's place in Arizona... I think they'll be surprised.


Hope you're having a great Wednesday. I had Monday off so I'm all jacked up about what day it is... I'm sure I'll be back on track in time for the weekend.

Love that doggie face. Way, way too cute.

I have sleeve syndrome too, I swear it takes longer to knit a sleeve than a back or half a front.
I have tried all kinds of things. and it is still too long.

I didn't realize it was so cold and miserable there today. I will wish some sunshine your way.

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?

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
