Wip!

Dancing Bamboo sock by Holly Daymude from the book Pints & Purls...

I've made these twice before. I love them.
I'm making these in a dk weight on a size 3 needle.
The original pattern calls for fingering and a size 1.
All I did was adjust the stitch pattern from 64 stitches to 48 and it all works.
These are dense, squishy, and lovely. I can't wait to slap them on my feet!

Oh Thank you for the number of stitches and the needles for DK, I need that and now I can be a lazy slug and just follow your lead. Love the color.

do you have the book with the pattern in it? There are a lot of really great patterns in there.

No, I don't but I do have an old book somewhere and being excessively lazy about it didn't feel like looking. The book you mentioned sounds interesting though. I will go to Amazon to check it out. I remember seeing it somewhere in a bookstore and thought it was really cute, but at the time was doing other things. I used the DK weight to make fishing and bed slipper socks, one Christmas. This morning I found the fishing socks so I can use it for the pattern, just the needle size I was missing, so I appreciated it so much.

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...

24 Hours

I don't even really know how to tell you about our last weekend. We took a trip that lasted less than 24 hours from start to finish. Saturday morning we left our home at 8:30 a.m. with our friends and we caught a train to Portland, Oregon. We were going to watch our hockey team play against the Portland Winterhawks. It's important to note that Friday Portland and areas far south of Tacoma Washington were hit with a snow storm. But, we were taking the train so we weren't super concerned. I packed extra knit items and warm clothes just in case we needed it. Boy did we need it! As soon as we got out of the train station we snagged the first cab we saw and made it thru the snow covered streets to our hotel. Which was a short walk from Memorial Coliseum where the game was being played that night. Checked in, changed our clothes into our team colors, and headed out to walk around a bit and find some pub grub... That's when we realized we were in the m
