The Stash...

We all know I have a big stash.

1.5 years working in a yarn shop added a lot to it.

Mom stumbling onto a windfall of yarn and sending me two suitcases full really stepped things up.

It's really really out of hand.

To the point that I know I have stuff in there and I couldn't tell you where it is...


Some of you may know and some of you may not know that Ravelry has a fancy little tool where you can log your stash so you have quick reference to your yarn and when you see a project you like it'll tell you that you have the yarn that will work for it.

So, taking a deep deep breath.
I'm pulling the whole stash this weekend and I'm going to photograph and log the whole thing.

It's definitely going to take the whole three days.

However, I think that in the long run I'll be happy I did, especially since I have a lot of sweaters I want to knit for myself this year and I'm 99.9% certain I have all the yarn for it.

I just need to find it.

You might want to send prayers and thoughts to D. I'm not quite sure he's ready for the stash to take over the dining room, living room, and part of the kitchen.

Then again, he has a shed full of race car parts.

Mine is prettier.

Pretty impressed you are doing it in one weekend. I'd do one or two totes a week, so I didn't get overwhelmed.

I have a ton of yarn and fiber, at least you have yours all nicely put away in bins. Mine is just packed to the gills on an Ikea shelf in my knitting room. I worry about it constantly. I saw a silverfish in my kitchen sink the other day which I haven't seen EVER in my house. I'm really nervous now! I thought about putting all my stuff into Ravelry too, but I don't have that kind of patience. Good luck!

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
