Padding my Stash...

In my attempt to prepare for the 2012 stash busting challenge I have felt the need to pad my stash with some yarn...you know, just in case I don't have enough. I do have enough, even if it was a 2012 sock stash busting I have enough, but just in case...
I bought 2 skeins of socks that rock lightweight (Thank you again Marcy for picking that up for me!)
6 balls of wool-ease in azalea pink for a little girls swing coat
And tonight I am replenishing my super bulky stash to make more hats...
God forbid that I actually empty a tote and use it for something else like craft supplies or race track cooking supplies...nope! Better off keeping those full of yarn lest there is a shortage like the butter shortage in Norway right now!
I've returned to the land of the living after a nasty wrestling match with a nasty virus. He had the upper hand in me yesterday morning but I finally pinned him down last evening and plan on doing a happy dance on it this evening...while buying yarn.
Happy Tuesday!
Xoxo

This isn't cheating because it's still 2011 and I just got some naturally dyed worsted wool in the mail today! LOL

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...

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...

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
