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!

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs. Seriously how can you not be in love with these guys Ragnar by special request of my husband who is watching Vikings Tiny Parrot. Need to make another and send it to my nephew Ragnar likes the squirrel and dino Ragnar thinks this tiny cat is an attach tiger but it's just a cat. Sumo still waiting for his opponent Parrot meet Dragon *Drago ...

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...
