it's getting to me...

Knitting baby blankets...
and more baby blankets
and more, more, more.

don't get me wrong, I love knowing that my friends and family have warm blankets to wrap their new bundles of love in, and I love seeing photos of the babies with their blankets.

But...

I should make that bigger because it's a big one

BUT...

I need a little something more....
A wee bit
Of instant gratification and some more time to finish a couple things.

So I bring my Ivy Trellis sock to work to knit on
and last night I cast on a fingering weight baby sweater for my new hockey buddy Beans.


Beans and I at dinner the other night getting our pre-game funk on... well I was getting my funk on she was just watching me... skeptically


I chose the colors on the Silvertips team jersey's.
I even contacted Robin at Buttons by Robin on Etsy to create some very special buttons for it.

You know what's funny?
I said 'Instant Gratification' and 'fingering weight' in the same post.
It's like an oxymoron :)

Or I'm a moron for thinking that anything fingering weight euqals instant gratification at the very least.

It's going to be adorable on her, plus I heard that the team store has finally gotten in some baby onesies so she'll have a complete outfit...

Beans loves hockey.
She loves to watch the boys skate.
I like to watch the boys skate.
I can't skate so I find it fascinating when they jump in the air.
Beans finds the fast movement fascinating.
Maybe she finds me fascinating?

Busy day/night today
Follow up for Mr. Brown (I failed to mention he had a corneal ulcer and has been getting drops at ridiculous times of day, plus another ear infection so he's deaf again while the medical tar absorbs) So, follow up for him today.
Bowling League tonight
followed by
Hockey Night!

Talk to you tomorrow before we head out to Sausage Fest in Everett!

Sausage Fest, sounds glorious. I've never been to one...
Don't worry, I'm making tons of dirty jokes in my head and cracking myself up!

Happy Friday

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
