and that's how the weekend rolls.........

A few dozen butterscotch and chocolate chip cookies, 5 hours at the yarn shop today working, well really I knit that fantastically awesome baby rattle that I found on Ravelry. The bell is just loud enough to amuse a baby, and soft enough to not send mom and dad screaming over the brink, at least I think it's soft enough, not being a parent I have nothing to base that theory on except that it probably wouldn't send me over the brink after years of conditioning from boxers who love L-O-V-E squeaky toys.
Also, please note the super soft construction of the toy so that when Baby Girl Peanut gets rocking with her rattle, should she crack herself in the nugget with it, no mark will be left causing passerby's to think unsavory thoughts.......
on that pleasant little ending, I'm off to take the final batch of cookies from the oven, hoping not to burn myself again. It's my turn to bring the treat for the birthday of the month so these are for Chris.
Happy Birthday Christopher........

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...

Busy...

But my shop sample for So Much Yarn in downtown Seattle is complete and ready for delivery! Yarn is Berroco Ultra Alpaca Size 10 needles Very Cozy! I'm wearing it now since my office clearly has the air conditioning turned on in it! Brrrrr. Need to make another one for me!

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.
