the big disappointment.........

You spend oodles of time knitting up warm wooley socks for your very dearest friends new baby girl.....love, thought, and giddiness go into the finishing and grafting of the toe, you wrap them up, package them for shipping weigh it, afix proper postage, pop those little things in the mail and wait.......wait for the comment on Facebook saying they arrived, how wonderful they are, or even better a text message with a photo showing little baby feet in little wooley socks with chubby baby legs......and wait....wait....and wait only to discover a week and a half after you mailed them that the postage machine lied because the package is back in your hot little hands, the baby feet have no wooley goodness and you need to fork over more cash because a machine couldn't hold up its end of the deal.......So Megan and Elaina, I apologize for the postage machine, clearly it didn't realize the value of the package it was weighing and was just screwing with me that day....the proper postage is on there now and they are going back in the mail today.
I'm a little hurt that they felt it necessary to put two stickers on it as if I were incapable of getting the message with the first one............I think it's a postmaster power trip.

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...

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.
