Weekend update

-
Went to the Sow's Ear on Saturday morning to participate in International 'Knit in Public' day. We, at The Ear, took it one step further and sat outside and knit. I took one for the International 'Knit In Public' team early on by getting stung by a hornet right above my concrete boot! Knitting in Public is dangerous! [Actually knitting in private is dangerous for the likes of me as well. Just last week I stabbed myself in the collarbone with a #2 straight whilst knitting 4" garter stitch squares. Honestly I need a keeper!]

At any rate, it was worth it. Mad City Mike dropped by to introduce himself. I have been reading his blog for a while now. He is an accomplished knitter and weaver who just started spinning as well! He's doing amazingly well. Scoot over there and look. Go ahead! I'll wait!....................What didja think? Really cool right!?! I know! And he's just as charming, sweet and handsome in person!

Shirley was there and so was Jen along with the cutest baby in the universe who fell asleep under the big spruce tree despite the fact that it was pelting him with shrapnel in the wind. He takes after me that way! Friend Donna also stopped by and dropped off a hugantic bag of books for me. And coworker/friend Lynn came to knit and give me some Mad Money that my kids at work collected for sock yarn! Lots to do in the next six weeks!

Left the Ear early to come home and take some benydryl for my sting. It swelled up over a big area including under the cast, so I wanted to make sure everything was hunky-dory for surgery today. The benydryl seemed to take care of it. But consequently I took a three hour nap.

Yesterday was a blur of errands, tying up loose ends and emotion. I am nothing if not a big cry baby and borrower of trouble. If I can imagine the worst case scenario, then I'll be prepared for it when it happens, right? But how can it be horrible when this is one of my cuddle buddies?

Miss Holli practicing 'resting up'. She is very good at this because she practices....a lot!

Will try and write again soon, but bear in mind I'll be under the influence of mind-altering drugs. Yes! Moreso than usual! Thanks for asking! Should be a wild ride!

We'll be thinking of you and sending good wishes your way...uh, right now!

Does a sunburned chest count as a knitting injury?

Good wishes for you for a successful surgery. I hope the recuperation will be fast and relatively pain-free!

I'm sorry that I didn't know that your surgery was so soon! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Perhaps you'll do some really cool novelty yarn while you're mending and "under some influence"! :)

Those mind altering drugs just suck! Hope the surgery goes well, and the recovery even better!

Just got a comment on my last blog entry reminding me that Monday is actually the last day of November, not today. So I have TWO more entries to complete NaBloPoMo; today and TOMORROW. How sad would that have been...to blow the whole thing because I can't read a calendar? I just figured, hey, December is coming next week, might's well start it out first thing on Monday! This here is a picture of my BubberKev and I at Thanksgiving. We're taking a momentary break from strangling each other to goof at the camera. Our mamma must be so proud! Back to online Christmas shopping! Have a great Sunday evening!

Lots of New Tangle Pattern Ideas!

I've been setting aside tangles that I've created in a special file in my cabinet. When I put one in last night, I realized that I had quite a stockpile and that I hadn't put only of them out there for others to try...so here they all are. I'm not good at stepouts or at naming. Most of them are named after placed in Maine...just because. I'd love to see any tangles that you've done that use any of these patterns! Have fun and tangle on!

Wicked Wonderful Weekend

 I had a really nice weekend. I didn't expect to since I had both my Covid booster and my flu shot  on Thursday afternoon. My first of the original two Covid shots put me under the weather for about 24 hours...but I just got a headache from this one and that's about it. And since I get headaches anyway, who knows if it was from the shots or not? At any rate, I was prepared for a stay-at-home-lay-about weekend.  Life is what happens when you are making other plans.  Since I decided Friday Night that I guess I wasn't going to be incapacitated after all, I arranged to go with friend, Donna to Baraboo to the Arts and Crafts Festival. It was really nice and way bigger than I thought it would be. Baraboo is where Ringling Brothers started so there were also circus-y things all over town. So much fun! After the Fair we went to lunch at a little breakfast place and then headed to one of my fav spots, Pewett's Nest, to see the gorge and waterfall. Then we stopped at Sky Hi Ap...
