Once Upon A Time...

A beautiful woman walked into a consignment shop. She was looking for pressed glass but decided to wander around a bit. She stumbled into a back room and opened her eyes in surprise! Before her was a table full of yarn, in fact there was yarn every where...Now this was no film flam second hand yarn, no no no my knitterly friends, it was cashmere, piles upon piles of cashmere yarn. This beautiful woman being sharp as a tack quickly snatched 60 balls in assorted colors, enough to make at least four grown up sweaters and some beautiful organic cotton that will knit a blanket for someone special...'how much?' she asks the woman behind the counter breathlessly...the woman looks it over and says 'how about $300.00?' again this woman is sharp as a tack and before she fainted she paid for the yarn and hurried it home. Quickly she calls her equally beautiful daughter, also sharp as a tack, to tell her of her windfall! After much whispered discussion it was determined that the woman would return to the store and make an offer on the remaining 30 or so bags the next day...
To be continued...

Stay tuned it gets way better!

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...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

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
