Day 4: Posted on Day 5 and 24 Days of Knitting gets off the rails

Phoebe checking out the Christmas Tree 

Oh to be so well organized that things likes getting posts a day off wouldn't happens.

It does happen.

This is the time of year when things can really go off the rails for me with a quickness that would stun you.

I needed photo permission from the designer.

She lives in Japan currently

So everything was already a day off.

Today's Pattern is by The Vulgar Knitter (i love it)

I met Brittany on Instagram.

I really enjoy her user handle @thevulgarknitter it's also her name on Ravelry

So today's pattern is from her collection of hats.

It has everything I like in a hat.

1. Interesting textures.
2. Nice fit
3. Cables - Cables

Pick a beautiful solid or softly variegated yarn with about 200 yards and I bet you'll have this done by dinner tonight, when I post Day 5's pattern pick!

Today's pattern is Aomori, and I googled Aomori and this is what I found

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aomori,_Aomori

Aomori is knit using a max of 200 yards of worsted weight yarn and simply beautiful. Any of your friends, family, or familiar strangers you pass on the street every day would love to get this hat as a gift.

I hope my brother feels the same way.

Thank you Brittany for your beautiful design!
I'm so glad we started following each other!

I'm off to run household errands today and maybe toss in a little holiday shopping followed by hockey tonight!

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
