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.

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
