It's Here!!

The 24 Days of Knitting starts today!

Are you excited?

I'm excited.

I'm excited for all that I have in store for you over the next month.

Today's project is a biggie but I believe that you all could crack this out by Saturday, blocked, buttoned, wrapped and placed under the tree...

All by Saturday.

Today's pattern is by one of my favorite knitting designers that I have had the pleasure of getting to know thru her blog, social media and testing her patterns from time to time.

Jane Richmond. 

Need I say more?
You know it's going to be great.
It's going to be fast.
It's going to be beautiful.

This pattern is no exception.

Twiggy 

Oh how I love this cardigan. I literally knit mine in two days.


It doesn't have the buttons on yet because they arrived in the mail yesterday.

They'll be on by this weekend though and I'll be sporting this bad boy all winter long.

This cardigan will make a great gift for a loved one or a great gift for yourself.

It's perfect to wrap up in early in the morning while still in your flannel bottoms, and it'll take you all the way into your jeans later in the day...

Go on out, get yourself some super-bulky yarn, size 15 needles and whack this out today!

I love this! Doubt it would only take me 2 days but it would go fast with that size yarn and needle!

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
