24DOK: Day 7 Oh Catenary, Oh Catenary

Your cables are so cozy!
So thick and warm and squishy to
I love it when I wear you.

Oh I love singing Christmas Carols and changing the words to suit my needs but keeping the tune.
All season long you can catch me belting out Christmas tunes along with the radio, my extensive Christmas music playlist on iTunes, in the kitchen while cooking, in the shower in the mornings, barreling down the freeway going hither and yon (really to work and home)

I could go on and on.

I do it all (except the showering maybe) while donning a winter hat.

Baby it's cold outside!

The hat I chose for today's 24 Days of Knitting is a perfect winter hat.

Bulky Weight!
Squishy Cables!
FOLDED Brim!


Catenary by Erica-Knits
Erica put the call out in September for test knitters and I jumped on it.
I'm so glad I did.
This hat worked up so quickly.
I did the testing while on a business trip in Las Vegas.


I sent it off to my wonderful sister-in-law in Minnesota for her birthday.

I chose Cascade 128 tweed and I made the smaller size. It used about a ball and a half.

Make this cable-y squishy hat for anyone on your Christmas list and wow your family and friends with your mad knitting skills.

Erica has written this pattern up so well I have no doubt that anyone from a advanced beginner to a master knitter could crack this out with ease.

While you're at it, check out the rest of her stuff that she has for sale on Ravelry. I think you'll be adding a new designer to your favorites list, not to mention a slew of patterns to your shopping cart.

Happy Monday!

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...

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
