Yarn Failure part II, and something about Mr. E Bunny

It must be the time of year...

It started out pretty well. I had four balls wound and then it all went to hell...........for crying out loud, I didn't even get it on the swift and all hell broke loose, that's how fast it happened.

Then only upside is this. Instead of 360 yards like I had last year, it was only 109.......Thank Goodness. I must admit though that at one point I was tempted to leave it as an offering on Marcy's desk in the morning, but then I had a beer and settled down.
Phew.......
Now it can become this.....Emmaline from the latest issue of knitty.
On a side note, Easter went off without a hitch as far as I know, the Family in Arizona had a blast at the Easter Egg Hunt at the club. There is some chatter that my brother may have killed the Easter Bunny when he crossed the road but we're still waiting on confirmation that it was the actually E. Bunny and not some imposter trying to scare the children on the 18th green.
*disclaimer* While my brother did accidentally hit a rabbit with mom's car, it was not the Easter Bunny so if any of you burst into tears at the thought that baskets full of chocolate, yarn, and jelly beans would not appear next year, have no fear, the E. Bunny lives on delivering chocolaty goodness and yarn to all.

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs. Seriously how can you not be in love with these guys Ragnar by special request of my husband who is watching Vikings Tiny Parrot. Need to make another and send it to my nephew Ragnar likes the squirrel and dino Ragnar thinks this tiny cat is an attach tiger but it's just a cat. Sumo still waiting for his opponent Parrot meet Dragon *Drago ...

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...
