Upcoming Events!

It's November 1.
Halloween was terribly uneventful for us which is fine with me. Having two big dogs that go bezerk whenever the doorbell rings makes it difficult to effectively hand out candy to little trick or treaters without wearing Kevlar pants and steel toe boots. Plus, to get to our front door and down our driveway to get candy, you really gotta want it.

so, the lights stayed off.

Aside from the obvious upcoming events; Thanksgiving, Bumps 1st birthday, Big Brothers birthday, Miss A's first birthday as well as Christmas, it's almost time for the annual So Much Yarn knitting retreat on Langley.

This will be my fourth year going and I can't wait.

Know what's going to make it more awesome? 

My mom is flying out to join us! 

I'm so excited I'm in an absolute twitter about it.

We're going to head up early Friday and knit our little hearts out all weekend along with a few dinners at Prima Bistro.

I have 4 projects I need to pack for the trip and they are all Christmas Gifts for the kiddos... Of course knowing me I'll toss in another 6 just in case I get the first four finished.

I'll also remember to pack the knitting patterns for each project.

Remember last year? That's right, I got to Langley and realized that I had brought all the yarn but left the patterns at home...

I actually don't live that far from Langley but I really really didn't want to have to go home and get them.

This year though I'll have a back up on my phone thanks to my fancy app 'Good Reader' for iPhone and iPad... they are all right there whenever I need them. I think it costs about 4.99 for the app and well worth it.

I'll post pics from the retreat during the weekend, of course once the wine and martini's start flowing I can't guarantee photo quality... can't guarantee knitting quality at that point either...

I better stuff a garter stitch scarf in my bag to knit on as well...

Oh! I almost forgot... that's not true how could I forget, BW is here! he arrived Sunday, weighing in at over 8lb's and a full head of hair! Welcome to our corner of the world BW! I can't wait to meet you in person!

and.... My friend Brenda who I met years ago at knitting and has moved to San Francisco for work is coming up for retreat as well!!

Hope this week goes fast!!

I can't wait to see you mom!!

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...

Oh Balls!

I'm halfway thru the second to last short row repeat... Just in time to get used to trailing three balls around with me and my Color Affection. Needless to say I'm pretty excited to be finished with this and wear it! Happy Sunday!

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.
