Finished Object: Poppy

I started this last Friday night and knew I wanted to get it to Beans by the next hockey game which was last night...

I was embroidering the fave at dinner and she kept looking down the table at me trying to figure out what the heck I was doing.

She's pretty cute and I adore her to pieces.
The doll turned out almost as cute as Beans!

I did have on minor error by the time we met for dinner last night...

I had forgotten to sew the hoohaa shut and all I had on me was pink yarn... So we're somewhat anatomically correct.

I laughed and laughed when I realized my mistake.

Here are the finer points of the project.

Details:
Pattern: Poppy by Ysolda Teague
Yarn: cascade 220 superwash for dress and body. Hair is just some brown I found.
Needles: size 3
I'm so smitten with her I might need to make one for myself!

Love the fact she is accidentally anatomically correct. That is too cute. It looks like she was a hit!

Thanks Linda!! I think it's hilarious that she's anatomically correct! I'll have to make a couple more for my friends kids!

I actually made the penis that holds chapstick for my 2 gay men friends for their birthday. They were delivered in appropriate places and were a hit.

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
