The New Project

Wow it has been 2 weeks since I finished my last Kal project (knit along ) for those of you just tuning in. I started my second Kal project had to rip back a few rows and the Bam!!!!! like a sledge Hammer I was Hit with a pinched nerve in my neck (can you say Ouch ???) well talk about your life coming to a screeching halt.





For a week I was UN able to do anything but sit in a chair and stair at the walls take pain meds ands and muscle relaxers and what not Yuck !!!couldn't even hold up a magazine.





Then a dear friend said to rest my arms on a fluffy pillow in my lap and Ta Da!! I am even able to knit short amounts at a time . The doc said its going to take a few weeks to get back to normal


(not sure I was ever normal ) but at least I can look at knitting magazines and knit here and there.


so here's where I am so far.

until next time

keep knitting

It's finished

Well I finished my kal on Tuesday night as planned however I was on a RV trip and the campsite Internet was down and company provider for my phone couldn't get their act together so No Internet for almost 5 days OMG!!!!!!! yes I would like some cheese with my whine LOL.

The Hat

well as you can see or maybe you can't see not a great picture I have finally got the pattern right .
I am now ready to knit 14 rows of just plain knitting YEA for me.

Um what was that ? why is the hat now blue?

well um ok here goes I got 17 rows done in the pattern on the brown Hat (yarn was soft but awful to knit with.) anyway last group of stitches in the last pattern row and I was off by 2 yes 2 so
I proceeded to un knit to find my mistake (did I mention the yarn was awful) the yarn kept splitting and getting frayed so I tossed the hat bought some new yarn and Ta DA .So even though this hat has been a pain it aslo has been alot of fun so far. I have put together several techniques that I have not done all in one project now I am getting ready for our next project. Sunday is our day to have 14 row straight knitting done I will keep you posted.
Until then keep knitting

Stage 2 of my KAL

well after messing up the pattern twice and frogging twice (frogging to rip out or ribit ) any way I decided my needles were to big so I took it all out and started again on a size smaller needles love the pattern not sure about the needle size now anyway I will be finishing it on these needles if to small it will be for a child instead.

My KAL partner's looks awesome as she sent me her picture yesterday

the picture is not great but I am still learning how to post this stuff.
until next time keep knitting
