Fear

I'm doing the Age of Brass & Steam knit-a-long with Americas Knitting over on our Ravelry Page. It's a quick knit and started January 1 and goes through January 31st so there is plenty of time for you to join in on the fun!

Quick knit for everyone but this girl.
I chose to do it on worsted weight.
I chose to do it in three colors.
I chose to add extra repeats.

Three to be exact.

It doesn't seem like a lot but when you increase four stitches on every right side and two stitches on every wrong side that sh#t adds up.

Fast.

I'm terrified of how many stitches are on my needles.

I don't think I can count that high.
I'm only starting the grey and have to do two full sections of it.

Before I added the grey I felt like I was knitting a princess cake with the white and pink. The grey is a good anchor and I think it's going to be great in the end.

The end...

I'll probably need a whole day to do the bind off.

Holy Guacamole!

Happy Sunday!
I'll just be here purling for a while.

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
