randomly on a day that is tuesday but feels like a monday...

 I did some corner cleaning yesterday and found these baby socks that I started while we were sailing in Maine... seeing as how the baby is due on Saturday I need to get cracking on the second one and pop that bad boy in the mail. They live in Colorado so this baby is going to need some warm wooly socks!
Aren't they adorable? They obviously got tossed aside during the unpacking phase of that trip and the repacking for a camping trip.

 They are seriously the tiniest stitches I've ever knit. I'm smitten with them...

Below is the begining of a baby blanket for my friend and 3Day walking and tent partner Alyssa. Her and her husband are expecting baby boy number 2 and she's in love with chevron striping so I am doing the Walt Painted Chevron Baby Blanket... more about that in a later post but for now here is a sneak peek...


 I had to buy another trunk size tote for the stash and could probably use two more. This is the closet in my guest room. Top two totes are just fingering weight sock yarn. It's packed in there like sardines...
In the photo below is all the yarn scattered about the living room that needs a home. including the Nordstroms shopping bag. That has a load of stuff in it as well...

 Speaking of guest room, it's open for business. I need to get my artwork up on the wall but the bed is fresh and comfy... fair warnings to any knitting friends who come to stay.
You will be subjected to a strip search before departure.
Just putting that out there.
 These are baby socks.
These are specifically Beans new socks, or will be when I finish the second one but I have a more pressing issue with the socks above. Yarn is Knit Picks Felici in Fingering weight Sweetheart colorway and Stroll Glimmer for the toe. We tried them on her. If you don't think baby socks on their own are swoon worthy wait till you see them on a chubby baby foot.
*swoon*

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...

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs.
