Holy Cow!

I didn't realize that the month is almost over and that it had been a month (almost) since I last post. Well I put some pictures up but forgot to hit post on them. What have I been doing? Working for sure, mom came to town last weekend and that was fabulous. I miss her more during the summer. She's home in Minnesota and has her gardens and my brothers and nephews to keep her really busy. When she's in Arizona I talk to her almost every day, so this is a bit of an adjustment.
There was a 2 week period there where the pollen count was obscene and I was incapacitated because of my allergies. I believe the term my doctor used was, 'wow, your sinuses are really angry". I don't have much to say.
I've been working on some different projects. I've got some bad sock juju going on right now so if there are any socks in the pictures below you can be assured that they have been ripped out. However, the hat that the bear is sporting is number one in a series of 2 so far. I plan on more.
the only sock not frogged is monkey at the end.
I'll post more tomorrow
i'm a bit sleepy and I'm working up the courage to look up my test results.
Happy end of June!! I promise July will have many more posts.
I'm starting to feel the urge to write more.........minus the haymaker pale ale...it is sunshine in a bottle.

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...

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...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!
