Sunday's

May become the day for random photos and off the handle posts... Like this one.

I'm working on the Churchmouse Easy folded poncho.
1. This is a lot of stockinette. A lot.
2. I've stopped referring to it as my pretty poncho and now it's the big green beast.
3. Every time I show a knitter how far I am on it I expect clapping and a standing ovation... (Please see #1)
4. This has yet to happen.
5. I have currently knit 44.5 inches of stockinette. 44.5 long inches.
6. That means I have 5.5 to go.

I really really in my soul of souls need this off the needles today because I have:
1. All the yarn to make Woodsy Cardy for me. It's my birthday present.
2. The rump of a boxer on needle holders waiting for the rest of the body.
3. A birthday sweater for Beans in the works still.
4. Birthday Socks for me that I, like a knitting idiot, knidiot?, started this morning.
5. I'm in the middle of an America's Knitting KAL sweater...

I could get a lot of these done while this freaking poncho that will be too damn warm to wear when it's finally finished dries.

Oh I feel the pain--but in a different way. I joined a little challenge on a Rav group--Spring Clean and Sweep Those wips away. I thought to myself, what a great idea! I joined. I dug around to see if I even have any wips laying around. Umm right--I have 9! So, casting on new shiny things will be very limited, while I work on those 9, once shiny projects.
The yarn crawl was blast and I came home with more yarn than I ever have before on one of these events.

I better get knitting...
xoxoxo

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
