ghost knitting...

Phoebe caught in the act of covering herself up...
I have a friend.
She's a pretty knew knitter.
She took on a project that, while it's not overly ambitious, the timing made it stressful.

New house
Holiday's
Family
Moving the week between Christmas & New Years...

You know the anxiety you feel when someone you love picked out a project and they are expecting it and you just can't get it done?

Then the disappointment when they open their gift and realize it's not what you were planning on knitting them. *

Well that's where my friend was at.
Distraught she brought me the project to to rip out.

There is a new deadline for the project and she just doesn't have the time, plus there is a little project anxiety in there, to get it done.

Enter Me.

I cut the yarn and hooked the mohair lace and aran tweed up to my ball winder and went to town.
Re-cast on the stitches and I am well on my way to getting it done for her to gift next week.

I'm liking it so much I might make one for myself.

I also have a couple other secret projects that I'm working on for a couple friends and I'm excited to share them with you but I can't do that till I get the green light.

*FYI: If you ever express displeasure at what I knit for you, you can be sure it'll be the last thing you ever get. 

xoxo Knittahs!

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
