Pandemic Knitter Shark Week Prep

[@lucilesenseney5556]

I would be interested in your health issues..I am so glad you are back podcasting. Thank you for wanting to help others.

[@pandemicknitter]

Thanks, Lucile. I missed talking to you all.

Health issue discussions are important. Sharing information helps others unexpectedly. And yes, the bag is lovely and I’d love to win one 😊 I hope you are feeling better 😊

[@wendyknopp1252]

Ooh, so many beautiful things you're working on. I love the test knit you're wearing. I'm very curious about your health issues and would love to hear you share about it. Your shark week project is going to be beautiful. I love that snap bag too. (I've won a bag, so please leave me out of that part.😊) Happy knitting!❤

[@pandemicknitter]

Thanks, Wendy. Hoping there's no blood in the water for either of us! 🤞

Looking forward to seeing you at the Maker's Meetup.

[@pandemicknitter]

Oh great! I look forward to seeing you too!

[@jessicacoverdale1514]

I’m watching as I’m working on my shark week project - a purl pouch. I love the challenge you’ve given yourself. Good luck this week! I hope you beat the shark! 🦈 ❤ I am in Decatur, IL and was excited to hear about the meetup. But it won’t work out that I could attend. Hope everyone has fun 😊

[@pandemicknitter]

I hope you beat the shark, too! I don't know what a purl pouch is. Be sure to post pictures.

Good luck on Shark Week. I missed that boat again this year. Do share your health struggles if you’re willing. I agree, if it even helps one person, it’s a win. I’m willing to decline the Sandy Bag only because I’m already blessed to have one. They’re fantastic. Wonderful to see you, and looking forward to seeing you at the Meet-up.

[@pandemicknitter]

Thanks, Stephanie. I'm looking forward to seeing you too!

Happy Shark Week! 🌊🦈 I cast on an Emotional Support Chicken this morning, but I haven’t committed to Shark Week yet because my hands have been bothering me. I might sit this one out. Sometimes I put too much pressure on myself to meet these deadlines at the expense of other things I should be doing. It looks like we will have beautiful summer weather most of this week 🤞🤞 and I want to make sure I get outside to enjoy it (not just doing yard work). I am so tired of all the rain!!! I would not mind hearing more about your dietary changes and how you’ve been feeling. (I already have a Queen Sandy bag, so please do not include me in your drawing.)

[@pandemicknitter]

Oh no! Not hand issues. I hope a little summer break helps. I'm sure if you need to take breaks at the Meet-up, people will understand. I can't wait to see your emotional support chicken, though.

[@EileenK64]

Sure please feel free to share about your health issues, I am always interested in becoming healthier. I already have that exact Queen Sandy bag (I LOVE it very much!) so leave me out of the drawing. Your sweater looks great! I did not know about your son Austin, happy birthday to him and I'm so sorry. As you know I'm knitting a Sockhead Slouchy Hat for Shark Week. I hope we both succeed! I love what you're making!

[@pandemicknitter]

Thanks for your input Eileen. Good luck on your Shark Week project!

[@chitchatknits]

I am so excited to see your cardigan at the meet up. You can beat the shark!I’m curious about your health journey as my husband also deals with joint issues.

[@pandemicknitter]

Thanks, Darcy. Are you participating in Shark Week? I'll be wearing all of the cardigans at the Meet-up. It's cold in the conference room.

[@skhoyt6024]

The last Queen Sandy bag is the one I would have chosen from the start, so maybe it is mine! I would like to hear about your health journey - I consider you a friend and care about what you are going through, and who knows if any of it will be applicable to me with my joint issues. I’ve thought about the gluten thing but haven’t been brave enough to give it up yet. I’ll be watching your progress for Shark Week. That shrug looks interesting and the 2 yarns look great together. I’ll be making the Mermaid Avenue Socks by Summer Lee with the Shark Dressed Man yarn by Chicken Lady.

[@pandemicknitter]

I look forward to seeing your socks. Good luck against the shark. It looks like the consensus is that people want to hear about my health. I will likely talk about it on my next episode. Thanks for always being there for me!

[@Yarn_Chicken_ETM]

I am also interested in hearing about your health challenges and how you are using nutrition to help. I’m excited to see you make a whole cardigan during Shark Week! I’m doing an Emotional Support Chicken. I previously won a Queen Sandy bag so please exclude me from the drawing. They are amazing bags!

[@pandemicknitter]

I love that you're making an emotional support chicken. Can't wait to see it!

[@SharonCodyCowgirlCreations]

I try to limit carbs, gluten, and inflammatory foods. It has really helped me to feel better with less joint pain. I am curious to learn more about what you are doing to improve your health.

[@pandemicknitter]

Thanks Sharon. It seems like there's a resounding yes to the question about health issues.

[@katheard262]

As for Shark Week… knitting a cowl called Coastland and praying I finish in time. I will frog if I don’t because that is what I signed up for, although I might cry lol. Not being a fast knitter I am hoping I have made a wise choice with this cowl. Time will tell lol.

[@pandemicknitter]

I hope you beat the shark! I don't want to see you cry. Good luck! 🤞

[@sallythomas7940]

Definitely not Shark Week for me! I am terrible with meeting short deadlines.

[@pandemicknitter]

I usually feel that way too, but something about the peril and pressure of having to frog gives me the inspiration to get it done.
