Good Morning!

I'm on the other side of the country sailing right now...
I brought three projects with me.
1. Fingering weight Simple Beret for Margie I finished en route to Boston.
2. Baby Socks I started on the airplane and finished one on day two aboard Destiny.
3. I'm back on track with my Ivy Trellis Socks after a brief tipping of the heel, restarting and fudging a bit with the stitches.
4. My moms Color Affection is down in our cabin which is in the bow of the ship.

The days have been lovely.
We arrived in Camden late Tuesday and the next morning we did an unguided walking tour and found The Cashmere Goat... A yarn shop! It wasn't open though.
We'll disembark there next week again and calmly walk our way over... Who am I kidding, it's my mom and I, we'll freaking run! From peering stalker-like thru the windows they have a nice variety of yarn but after some research we discovered they have some local wools and alpacas... My souvenir gift list is getting shortened as I type to allot some cash flow to the local yarn buying spree I'm planning!

I'm traveling with my mom and her new husband the ever wonderful G whom I adore.

He's sailed these waters for years and knows so much about all the boats that come out of this area. It's a wonderful trip.

Happy weekend!

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
