New Day.....

Yesterday was a bad day so I chose not to post as a precaution to writing inappropriate things, and as I would prefer to keep this clean, those of you who know me quite well know this will be a challenge, especially given my favoritism for certain swear words. However, the day ended well and that I will talk about.


Marcy and I started the socks. She had to rip back a row right away, I had to rip out the whole thing last night while watching 24. However I am now working on the heel flap of the first sock. The yarn is fantastic. I like the colorway that I chose and I would probably choose it again except that I won't do it with this sock pattern. I think it's better suited to a straight up simple short socklette, but I am enjoying the feel of the yarn, it's soft, springy and knitting up wonderfully. As soon as I get some pictures of Marcy's sock I'll post our progress.





Last night, since I decided I had to be at the office super early, I took my shower before bed, well, it didn't start out very well. I get in the shower (it's tub shower with a curtain) realize the water isn't at the scalding temperature I prefer, lean over to adjust it and I slip, shift right and fall backwards out of the tub and land on my arse. I'm not hurt, well maybe a little bruise on my arse, but my head hit my recently discarded clothes and I think the shower curtain may have broke my fall if only a little. Once the shock wore off that I had actually fallen OUT of the shower, it was pretty amusing. Probably had to be there but at the same time why would anybody have been there.





Because of my mood yesterday I skipped knitting class, deciding that it would be best if I was not in a group where everyone carried pointy sticks, I'll go on Sunday however and get some new pictures of the yarn dogs, Angus Beefcake and Fiona.





That's all I have for now, as soon as I get some pictures of the socks I'll post them but for now, how about a picture of.........Angus Beefcake

Happy Wednesday!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday
