Agnes

I cast on a *bulky pullover this weekend.
Easy, top down, size 11 needles.
Already separated the body from the sleeves.

Now I have a debate going on in my head.

The pattern calls for a hidden pocket.
I'm not opposed to the pocket.
I'm also not sure if I want to add the pocket. 
It might be a fun feature.
It might cause me to say some not so lady-like words while I make it.

I know summer is just starting to ramp up here in the PNW but I'm already excited for fall so I can wear my new sweater.

Back to the pocket debate.

What are your thoughts?
Pocket?
No Pocket?

What color should my pocket be? It calls for a contrasting yarn.

Welcome to a Tuesday that feels like a Monday and is also a month end at the office.

Bam.

I need more coffee...

Pockets.


 *Pattern is Agnes by Melissa LaBarre for Quince and Co. Yarn is cascade 128 tweed in charcoal.

Pockets! Maybe in a soft pink or the Silvertips team color?

I love the idea of pockets, and I'm really into Lobster Red, it's a softer lighter not as intense red that wants to be coral but is really red....you asked!!

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
