Happenings


I've been working for America's Knitting for almost two years now, running their Ravelry Group but branching out a bit and posting on their Facebook page as well... 

If you haven't checked out the Ravelry group you should definitely hop over there and join us... 

We are a pretty active group chit chatting amongst all the different posts. 
Sharing updates on projects 
Sharing ideas for new projects 
Sharing new pattern releases. 
There is a group board for completely random topics that have more to do with our lives than to do with knitting. 
I know a few of our group have had meet ups. 

One of our group from Californian and I were in Maui at the same time last year and met for coffee!

Our current Knit-A-Long is the Shaken or Stirred Cardigan by Thea Coleman! 
It started April 1st and goes to June 30th! 

Mary, the own of AK, and I met up last Saturday for the Pacific Northwest Yarn Crawl and are planning our own personal yarn shop crawl sometime this summer... 

We are also in the talking stages of planning an America's Knitting Retreat! 

Stay tuned here, on our Ravelry group or on Facebook Group or the America's Knitting website for updates on everything! 

Plus when you travel we have a very hand map of knit shops across America so you'll never be lost!

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
