The Little Adobe 2016: Part 1


Mom and I arrived back in PG Saturday evening.
A quick hit at Nob Hill Grocery, a six pack of wine, some snacks and we were set.
We settled in quick enough. Had a glass three glasses of wine on the patio and then strolled down to the Beach House at Lovers Point for dinner.
The beauty of Pacific Grove and the Monterey Peninsula is hard to describe.
Good thing I am taking a slew of photos...

The house we found on AirB&B is so amazing. The owner, though we've only texted and emailed is wonderful. We talk often and it's mostly me gushing about how much we love her home. If mom and I ever bought a house in PG it would be one of these Adobes. Preferably this one.

Today? We're headed to Carmel-by-the-Sea... Carmel will be in Carmel.
Things that happen in Carmel
1. My name is everywhere.
2. I say 'what' a lot.
3. I always buy myself a shirt that I'll never wear

Here are some photos so far.... Enjoy

ps I love the hydrangeas in PG and the rocky coast line. You'll be seeing a lot of both over the next week...
pps I will be snapping a ton of stuff. If I learn how to finally use snapchat I'll start posting there otherwise you can seek me out on instagram (i went private on there again but please send a request and I'll accept if you aren't a troll) my snapchat is carmelknits but like i said... i don't know how to use it very well LOL

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
