Finished Object: Stovetop Hat


What the What?
A finished object post?
Seriously?
I mean, I have finished A LOT of stuff but just haven't had time to post it all...

That is changing right now!
I finished something and by golly I'm posting it here today.


See, I didn't give up knitting.
September was crazy. As crazy as that out of control jacked up cable up there... I fixed it the next morning


October has been extra crazy with my job and the release of a new code set that is turning my brain to squish.


But, now I have a sweet sweet hat to conceal the squish and prepare me for winter.

Normally I would be sporting my hats come fall but I was at the pumpkin patch yesterday and even though it was raining it was about 63 degrees... not hat weater. Not even cozy sweater and boots weather...

So.
Back to why I'm here...

I am posting a finished object for you all to see, and love, and buy, and knit a gazillion of for everyone in your world.

Why?

Because I'm cool like that.


Pattern: Stovetop by Alexa Ludeman of Tincanknits
Difficulty: Medium.
Love: off the charts

This pattern is fab.
The chart is easy to read.
The hat comes in all sizes from a newborn nugget to a full grown fullback :)

Knit in a worsted weight on size 8 needles it knits up swiftly and beautifully.
Slap a big pompom on top or a cluster of little pompoms and you are all set!

See that little head in one of the pictures. That's Phoebe and Phoebe is so special she deserves her own post, but here are some facts.
1. We officially adopted her after a two day trial run.
2. She is 6 years old.
3. She is the silliest, sweetest, wiggly little thing ever.

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
