To the left, you will see Treehugger, Bella Coola, Flower Power, and Tide Pooling.  THIS IS NOT A BUNCH OF KAWKAW!



And this is Tide Pooling, RSC September yarn! No KAWKAW here!
   To the left, A BIG BUNCH OF KAWKAW!  Or, Christmas KAWKAW!
And then….. ahhhhhh…………Rocktober!  Carefully aged for over a year, ready to be wound into a yarn cake, stroked, loved, and knitted up into a slip stitch scarf and socks…………….I have literally waited from last November until now.  It was almost more than I could stand.  And that ain’t no KAWKAW.   
Tomorrow I have a date with Jackson.  He might covertly try on his Christmas-present-in-the-making.  And you might just see it here!  Knit on………………

It is definitely Summer time!

I there knitting friends! It is officially summer, the middle of June. I am finally blogging again. I had rotator cuff surgery on June 9, and since my injury wasn’t to the point where a lot of repair work had to be done, I have the official blessing of the orthopod to type on the computer and knit as much as my pain level permitted. Which isn’t as much as I had hoped it would be, oddly enough. I did finish these, with the aid of Vicodin and donut holes.

And I worked on both of these–the coriolis (the one on my foot) I started at Sock Camp and the Monkey KawKaw I started while under the influence of drugs, because if I was thinking clearly I surely would not have cast on yet another pair of socks. Or technically, a sock, since for some reason I am doing only one, another clue that my thinking is clouded.


Speaking of Sock Camp, I came home with no dirty clothes, but a suitcase full of this

After tripping over the suitcase for a month, I was strolling through Joann’s looking for ideas about how to display and store this yarn. I found this

which I purchased and turned into this.

I can look at these wonderful Blue Moon colors while new ideas percolate in my mind.

I have also spawned a couple of monkeys—This one for Aimee’s little one who will be here the end of July,

and this little wild dancing monkey for Lilly, whose mom is a wonderful Public Health Nurse that I appreciate greatly!

This monkey’s name is Nelly, a combination that Lilly came up with to combine her name and mine. Last I heard, Nelly was much loved and was going to show and tell.

I will spare you the photos of my shoulder. I am getting more range of motion every day and I see the surgeon next Thursday. I have no photos of WWKIP Day, even though it was yesterday. I am envious of everyone who had gatherings in climates conducive to gatherings of knitters. The desert southwest doesn’t lend itself to gatherings of this sort when it is 113+ outside.

Till next time, happy knitting!
