Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't.

Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo!

Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been...

1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone.

2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them.

3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today.

4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (obviously other people are aware of my love of places to write) Dog Poetry, figurines, and coffee cups to name a few... I love them all.

I'm obviously on the verge of being a candidate for Hoarders.

Just don't let them touch my notebooks.

Or Yarn.

Here I go...

I love a good purge! Although I have a tough time getting ride of stuff, it feels so good when I get a bunch of stuff out of the house and donated. And I do that with knitting books and magazines ALL the time- I swear I'm going to knit a bunch of patterns from it, and inevitably knit one or less. Sigh.

It's amazing how much bigger it feels... My guest/storage room is next weekends project... Most of the stuff in there is just things we didn't know what to do with when we moved...

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
