A Photo Round Up.

I know.
I know.
It's been 7 months.
It's been 7 months of ups, downs, growth, regression, and more growth.
Growth is good.
Growth is painful.
It all circles.
I tried so many times to write a post.
I couldn't feel it though.
There was a darkness in me, a lack of joy and inspiration that I just didn't want to let out to my world here.

However in the darkness was light and joy.
I knit.
I spent time with friends.
I keep harassing Phoebe with my new phone and portrait mode. 

So here is a massive photo round up of knitting, summer, fall, knitting, and more knitting.

He was a noisy rooster at the State Fair


In Minnesota it's all about the cheese curds. In Washington it's all about hot scones and raspberry jam

Cruise on Mason Lake

Early Morning Mason Lake

Phoebe was in a Parade of Rescues. She was really only excited about her swag bag that she got at the end.

Her first night in a hotel for Parade of Rescues. Not too shabby for Phoebe girl.

A run to Portland for O|A|R Matt Nathanson and The New Respects

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!

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...
