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.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
