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...

24 Hours

I don't even really know how to tell you about our last weekend. We took a trip that lasted less than 24 hours from start to finish. Saturday morning we left our home at 8:30 a.m. with our friends and we caught a train to Portland, Oregon. We were going to watch our hockey team play against the Portland Winterhawks. It's important to note that Friday Portland and areas far south of Tacoma Washington were hit with a snow storm. But, we were taking the train so we weren't super concerned. I packed extra knit items and warm clothes just in case we needed it. Boy did we need it! As soon as we got out of the train station we snagged the first cab we saw and made it thru the snow covered streets to our hotel. Which was a short walk from Memorial Coliseum where the game was being played that night. Checked in, changed our clothes into our team colors, and headed out to walk around a bit and find some pub grub... That's when we realized we were in the m
