Finished Object: Smocked Slouch

That's right.

I knit another Smocked Slouch.

I can't help it. I'm on a hat kick right now.

Maybe it's because spring is being so nasty to us here in the Northwest.

Nasty cold winds whipping around, snow, downpours of rain, hail, and every once in a while a warm breeze that teases us into believing that winter will end and spring will come. Well, in the interim, I will knit hats to get as many of us through as possible...So here is Lisa's Smocked Slouch. It matches her Nacho Getters that I made for her...

Details:

Pattern: Smocked Slouch by Jill Zillenski. Check her block here, she also does graphic design work for knitters so if you are looking for a logo you couldn't do better than Jill.

Yarn: Malabrigo Merino Worsted (no idea what colorway i lost the label)

Needles: Size 7 in circular and dpn's

Love this pattern!

I think Lisa is going to love it as well!

Speaking of teases... here is MY next Rustling Leaves Beret designed by Alana Dakos... stay tuned for more updates on this!

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. 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 ...
