booked.........

Glancing through my day planner and I've discovered a few things..........1) I actually remembered to write stuff in it before it happens instead of filling it in after it happens, 2) I have things happening all weekend starting tonight.
 - Open House Fund Raiser at my friends house where I will probably spend gobs of money on Pottery and such to fund a girls home in Cambodia.
 - Tomorrow afternoon/night consists of celebrating the MIL's birthday all the way up in Anacortes
 - Sunday is the baby shower for Mindy, I can't wait for her to see the secret gift, well and the monkey sweater which is complete now......The baby blanket will be done when Damien is done cooking.........
All that being said a few interesting, mortifying and exciting things have happened this week.
1. I went to the bathroom at work and didn't realize till I plopped down on the toilet seat that I had failed to shut the stall door behind me (horrified that someone would walk in I did the 'pants around my knees shuffle' and slammed it shut)
2. realized that i had walked around for a good 2-3 hours with my fly open wondering why all my friends didn't tell me........I'm wearing white underwear, when a fly is open it's like a light house beacon shining thru.
3. Alana Dasko of Never Not Kntting emailed me this week asking me to knit some samples of her stuff for some upcoming events..........I am so excited I could cartwheel down the street! I am not sure what I will be knitting but I've always loved her patterns so I'm sure it's all going to be lovely! So in the spirit of knitting for another I've purchased a slew of her patterns so I could familiarize myself with her pattern writing style and what I've seen so far it's just downright perfect.

Stay Tuned
and please if you see someones lighthouse shining tell them to zip it...........

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!
