Weekend Rewind

It was a three day weekend.
Two hockey games.
Extra day to sleep in on Monday.
Olympics on T.V.
A little snow.

And a cold/flu virus that has some serious staying power.
Just when I think I've beat it down it gives me a slap and says 'nope, not yet, sit down and rest'

Heal.

Just in case I didn't listen, my body slapped me with a migraine that last the whole weekend and was immune to all my regular remedies.

So I rested.
I watched the Olympics.

Mens Aerial and Oleksandr Abramenko from the Ukraine winning gold! Had to be my favorite event this weekend.
What an amazing competition. 

Oleksandr Abramenko's Gold Winning Jump
side note: how does a person wake up one morning and think 'that's my mission in life. Hurl myself down a ski slope on long skiis, launch into the air and do a crazy number of flips, twists, turns, and nails that landing' 

I honestly admire them. I'm in awe of them.

I loved the Snow Board Cross.
Half Pipe Skiing.
Bobsled.

Phoebe and I logged some serious snuggles during nap time.


In between naps and trying to be productive. I knit.

And knit.

And knit.

Did a little cardio kick-boxing which put me back in bed for the rest of the day.

*I finished my second Epistropheid.
*I finished a second BA Cool hat 
Started another BA Cool hat.
Chose my March Fair-Isle hat.

Boston Flip by one of my all time favorite designers Thea Coleman

The Knit-A-Long for this begins March 1st but really the rules are fast and loose with it.
Check out the America's Knitting group on Ravelry for more info. You'll find all the Fair-Isle shenanigans under '2018 Fairisle Fun'

The edges of the migraine are still lingering. 

I love the ribbing on this hat.

* Friday I will show you all the finished hats.

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...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

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?
