Process...

It's what I'm trying to do right now...I'm staring down so much yarn on my dining room table that I can't even fathom the number/type/style of projects that I can make with it all.....it's all rolling thru my head so fast! Many of the yarns have been discontinued I have discovered as I whirl my way thru Ravelry just trying to get a grip on what I have in my midst...I think my mom and I are lucky that the woman had the same taste in color that we share with a little bit of the eccentric...I want to cast something on so badly but I just can't make a decision...Plus as my gaze falls upon this windfall of cashmere, silk, and some sparkly Louisa Harding, my sights wander to my stash that has been a loyal companion for years just waiting for me to knit with it and now I feel some jealousy of the new crowd that's entered the realm of my living room/yarn storage facility...I feel like I'm in open water being hunted by a woolen shark about to attack for no other reason than my indecision at this time...I have no plan for this new yarn...my old yarn all has a plan, I think that's where I'm running into trouble...I need some new patterns and some plans and then I can make my way thru this...
For now we'll be eating off of TV Trays until I can sort thru and put a plan in place and get it all stored....
wish me luck!

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!
