Finished Object: Simple Slouchy Beanie

I knit this up back in June. 
I bought the yarn for something else and it just wasn't meant to be, so I made this hat, I made the copy cat Fox hat and I have about 2 skeins left to make something else with... Maybe some bulky mittens are in my future. 

It's pretty simple and knits up fast. 
Simple is in the name! I have a feeling that once the temperature drops and it's not 85+ in my neighborhood I'll get a lot of wear out of this hat! 

I also think I need to go to Ikea and get myself a dresser to hold my knitwear... I'm running out of room in my regular dresser... hmmm. 

So here are the details: 
Pattern: Simple Slouchy Beanie 
Designer: Kelly Kingston
Yarn: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky in color Crush.
Needles: size 10.5

I love it. 
The color is me. 
The yarn is soft after it's washed. 
Oh yes, blocking is a must for this hat, it makes all the difference!
Please ignore the light glisten of sweat on my face, It was 90+ degrees in our bedroom
when I snapped this photo.

on a side note, some of you may have heard about a fire in a dry dock marina on Lake Union this past 4th of July... we kept our boat there and it was one of the boats destroyed in the fire. 14 boats total were destroyed, four additional were damaged. 

 We were able to check out just how damaged it was on Sunday when we got back from our camping trip...

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.

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...
