Oh yeah...

I knit this sweater about 2 years ago.
Then I packed on some weight and the sweater got put away, which was sad on many levels that we don't need to get into right now...

This morning I was lying in bed between attacks of my alarm clock trying to think of what to wear to work. I could hear the rain, so I knew a sweater would be required...

Remember I said I was getting my health on recently? Well fast forward to today...

I've lost about 15 pounds so far since January so I thought maybe I would try my Idlewood sweater on with my jeans and a long sleeve white shirt...as you see pictured.

Well as you can see it fits, it fits better than when I made it!

But that's not the best feeling...
Oh no...
There is a better one...

The jeans I grabbed OUT of the dryer this morning and slipped on like nobodies business were not the ones I planned on wearing.

I thought I had grabbed my skinny jeans with a touch of Lycra in them...

It was not the skinny jeans!

It was when I looked down and realized they weren't my skinny jeans that I thought I had grabbed that I practically floated out of the bathroom! Two weeks ago these non-Lycra having no stretch out of the dryer jeans were still snug enough that if I sat in them blood was cut off from the extremeties!


I believe that every day is glorious

But Today is super glorious!

Happy Friday!

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you

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...

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
