Thursday.........

it is Thursday right? I feel like I have had one of those weeks where it's gone on longer than it should and there is no end in site.....possibly because I spent 2.5 hours of it sitting at the car dealership service department waiting for Ghetto Jepeto's window to be fixed......it was over $400.00 for that little bit alone so I think my campaign to convince D that it's time for a new car is going to have to take a back burner for a while......especially since GJ still runs great and we have an understanding.....and the receptionist at the car dealership is entertaining. The big positive of the 2.5 hours is that I got some quality knitting done on a very long I-cord and thus finished off baby present #1. I am in a debate as I'd I want to do the matching hat or find another hat pattern to use with the same yarn but we'll see......in the mean time I started a baby shrug for Little Elaina that is moving along quite well and I have some sleeves to finish for Miss Frances and then at one can go out into the mail as well.....maybe the service department will let me just sit in their waiting room for a while....it is very conducive to boring knitting like long sleeves and I-cord.....so since baby gift #1 is indeed a gift and I am not sure if RacerGirl, the mom to be, reads my blog for sure I will have to post a photo after she receives the gift......plus the buttons haven't arrived so.... I found the buttons on Etsy and you can view the shop here

I am using my iPad for this so if that link is funny then I will fix it later......well it's almost five and instead of being ahead of the game like I was half an hour ago I am now verging on being late..........
Have a great day
P.s.
Here is my quote of the week:

"There comes a moment when you realize that you don't have a huge yarn stash but more of a collection of dreams and ideas that will someday reach their potential when you find the perfect pattern to turn them into....and having said that I will continue to buy yarn".....Carmel

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!
