New Format....

I need a little more structure in my personal life. Starting here. I love my blog, but it wouldn't know it because I've ignored it so horribly the past few months. So this past week I've been thinking about restructuring the content to give it more life and variety... Don't worry though, I know every once in a while you'll get a post where I go off on a tangent.

stash enhancements

It's early Sunday morning now, both dogs having woken me up ridiculously early on a Sunday are both sound asleep again in their respective living room beds, while I'm not away slugging back coffee and sorting thru the 357 million pictures I took of the PNW Yarn Crawl yesterday that Mary and I did from America's Knitting!

I have my favorite shops of course.
All the shops we visited were great.
There is a new one in Puyallup (pronounced: Pew-Al-Up)
Called My Yarn Heaven. What a great little shop. Excellent selection of yarn. Beautiful spaces to wander. Excellent natural light so you can see what the yarn color clearly is...
Bo, rescued last year looking so amazing this year
We went to Firwood Farms and spent some time with the alpaca's.
One who was rescued last year, and was very skittish and his fur was long and matted and he was so skinny, looked so amazing this year. He's been very well cared for and actually came to the fence and ate from my hand. Plus he's had a haircut and looks quite handsome.

Then there was Bandit and he loved my camera and the camera loves him...

Anyway, it was a full full day that started at 7:00 a.m. when I boarded the ferry to Kingston all the way till 7:00 pm when I boarded the return ferry home.

Happy Sunday

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?

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...

24 Hours

I don't even really know how to tell you about our last weekend. We took a trip that lasted less than 24 hours from start to finish. Saturday morning we left our home at 8:30 a.m. with our friends and we caught a train to Portland, Oregon. We were going to watch our hockey team play against the Portland Winterhawks. It's important to note that Friday Portland and areas far south of Tacoma Washington were hit with a snow storm. But, we were taking the train so we weren't super concerned. I packed extra knit items and warm clothes just in case we needed it. Boy did we need it! As soon as we got out of the train station we snagged the first cab we saw and made it thru the snow covered streets to our hotel. Which was a short walk from Memorial Coliseum where the game was being played that night. Checked in, changed our clothes into our team colors, and headed out to walk around a bit and find some pub grub... That's when we realized we were in the m
