unexplainable...

I've probably gone down this road before, at least that's the tickle in my brain 'don't blog about this you've done that already, or have you?'

so better that I just get it out of my system, again possibly, and be done with it.

people, I want to learn to crochet a granny square. one giant granny square blanket.

I can't explain it.
It's a burning desire.
I blame it on Churchmouse Yarn and Tea for their amazing Crochet Granny Square Blanket...

I blame them because that's the one I want to make.

with a fierceness.

I think about it all the time.
I look at it all the time.
Its possible that I bought the pattern having no idea what all the stuff means.

I did buy the pattern.
I need to buy the yarn.
They did it in noro. It's amazing

You can look at it on their website and drool.

crochet!

I've been known to openly mock it.

I've come to secretly love the granny square though and all it's possibilities and chains and color changes and hook this, hook that wonder.

crochet.

We'll be meeting soon.
please be kind.

now to convince my spouse that I need a Thanksgiving gift of 9 balls of Noro Silk Garden.

He's probably reading this laughing hysterically saying 'no no no not today my lovely bride...'

That's okay. sometimes those balls just fall into my cart and I hit 'buy now' before we can blink...

HA!

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
