So It Begins...

The Preamble to 24+ Days of Knitting starts now.

The pattern to kick off your Thanksgiving weekend is sweet, simple, and will make a quick gift to pop under the tree, once you get it up that is...

Have family arriving?
Descending upon your home for the big turkey day?
Need a little something you can pick up and knit and put down to answer the doorbell?

Well, I have the perfect thing for you.

You have time to run to your LYS I promise. Don't even make up an excuse to leave the house just say you forgot something at the store and you'll be back, no no thank you very much, i'll be faster on my own... and run to the car before anyone can catch you.

none of us will hold it against you if you sit in the corner by the cashmere rubbing your cheeks against it thinking hosting Thanksgiving in June sounds way better than hosting it in November the day before.

Who knew we had so many family members...

I digress, it's just four of us here at moms house in glorious sunny Naples Florida.

You get my drift.

Hit the stash, hit the LYS, grab your needles, the wine (whole bottle is fine) and settle in for a glorious day of knitting, greeting family, and gulping sipping your wine or beverage of choice...

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...
