24DOK Day 20: Go Big or Go to the Mall....

this is what you get when a project flies off the needles and into a gift box before the knitter realizes she needs to snap a photo. 
The countdown to Christmas is on people.
This Friday is officially Christmas.
I have a slew of wicked fast projects coming at you this week that you can crack out in the time it takes to watch a movie, a sitcom, or listen to the entire Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Album.

 

Break out your size 19 needles.

Trust me, they do make them, I've made good use of mine this week.
Go get yourself 87 yards of super-bulky
Then hit Ravelry and download this freebie by Jane Richmond.

I made three this weekend. Two on Saturday and one on Sunday.
Along with three AF Knockoff hats. :)

I know, I'm all about super-bulky, big needles, and accessories but come on people, if you can crack out a sweater in time to block, seam, wrap and place under the tree by christmas I'll bronze your knitting needles for you.

Trust me. At this point in the game it's go big, or go to the store for yet another perfume gift box.

Trust me.

Invest in some knitters pride size 19 needles. You'll love them. Smooth with sharp pointy tips.

The projects will fly off your needles. FLY!


 

There is a lot of Jane Richmond love the closer we get to Christmas and I'll tell you why.

She likes to use a lot of super-bulky wool which is always a win.
Her patterns are classic, timeless, and beautiful.
She has a huge accessorie library to choose from.

go. knit. be happy.

The actual Monday post is coming later.

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...
