One Hat to Lead Them All...

If you haven't guessed by the title I'm in a Lord of the Rings phase right now. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I watched the trilogy...aren't those the best... of course they go faster for me because I fast forward a lot of the parts with Gollum...he freaks me out and I put him on the fear level of the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz.
I love my Rustling Leaves Beret. LOVE IT. I've worn it 3 out of 4 times this week...I leave it on long after I've arrived at work, and put it on at least a half hour before I leave.
So this morning, would it surprise you, I had a notion to knit another one (or six) most will be gifts for others and 3 for sure will be for me...what's lovely about this is that you only need half a skein of most sock yarns so you easily get two hats p/skein! Bang for your knitterly buck!
Well, instead of heading out the door to work in a timely fashion I pulled out my hoard of sock yarn (the unwound bin) and right off the bat found the 3 4 that I want to use...The top three though are as follows in order...
1. Tanis Fiber Arts hand dyed yarn, Blue Label Fingering in the color Sand
2. Socks that Rock medium weight in the color Bosenberry
3. Dream in Color Starry in the color Black Parade (don't you love the sparkle in it?)

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...

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.
