Weekend Rewind

It was a three day weekend.
Two hockey games.
Extra day to sleep in on Monday.
Olympics on T.V.
A little snow.

And a cold/flu virus that has some serious staying power.
Just when I think I've beat it down it gives me a slap and says 'nope, not yet, sit down and rest'

Heal.

Just in case I didn't listen, my body slapped me with a migraine that last the whole weekend and was immune to all my regular remedies.

So I rested.
I watched the Olympics.

Mens Aerial and Oleksandr Abramenko from the Ukraine winning gold! Had to be my favorite event this weekend.
What an amazing competition. 

Oleksandr Abramenko's Gold Winning Jump
side note: how does a person wake up one morning and think 'that's my mission in life. Hurl myself down a ski slope on long skiis, launch into the air and do a crazy number of flips, twists, turns, and nails that landing' 

I honestly admire them. I'm in awe of them.

I loved the Snow Board Cross.
Half Pipe Skiing.
Bobsled.

Phoebe and I logged some serious snuggles during nap time.


In between naps and trying to be productive. I knit.

And knit.

And knit.

Did a little cardio kick-boxing which put me back in bed for the rest of the day.

*I finished my second Epistropheid.
*I finished a second BA Cool hat 
Started another BA Cool hat.
Chose my March Fair-Isle hat.

Boston Flip by one of my all time favorite designers Thea Coleman

The Knit-A-Long for this begins March 1st but really the rules are fast and loose with it.
Check out the America's Knitting group on Ravelry for more info. You'll find all the Fair-Isle shenanigans under '2018 Fairisle Fun'

The edges of the migraine are still lingering. 

I love the ribbing on this hat.

* Friday I will show you all the finished hats.

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?

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!
