Startitis...

It's going around.
I see it all thru the blogoverse
as well as my living room.
I've been tyring to curb it and not let it show.
Knitting things in secret so I don't get the question....

"what are you knitting now? did you finish what you were working on?"

I tend to get nasty in my answer when I feel like I've been caught doing something wrong.

It's not wrong to start multiple projects at a time
but it would be easier to curb startitis if there weren't so many delicious fibers out there to play with, birthdays to celebrate, babies needs to be met.

Two things could help me with my startitis
1. More time in my day.
2. I need to become a faster knitter.

Plus...
it would be nice if during my stash-busting challenge if the yarn companies would stop sending me catalogs full of beautiful new yarns for spring...

Just saying.

Happy Monday

p.s.
I got on the elevator at work today and stood in it for a full minute before I realized it wasn't going anywhere...apparently it does help to push the button for the floor you want.

I've got to the point where I just throw those catalogues right into the woodstove without cracking the covers!

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...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
