Oh yeah...

I knit this sweater about 2 years ago.
Then I packed on some weight and the sweater got put away, which was sad on many levels that we don't need to get into right now...

This morning I was lying in bed between attacks of my alarm clock trying to think of what to wear to work. I could hear the rain, so I knew a sweater would be required...

Remember I said I was getting my health on recently? Well fast forward to today...

I've lost about 15 pounds so far since January so I thought maybe I would try my Idlewood sweater on with my jeans and a long sleeve white shirt...as you see pictured.

Well as you can see it fits, it fits better than when I made it!

But that's not the best feeling...
Oh no...
There is a better one...

The jeans I grabbed OUT of the dryer this morning and slipped on like nobodies business were not the ones I planned on wearing.

I thought I had grabbed my skinny jeans with a touch of Lycra in them...

It was not the skinny jeans!

It was when I looked down and realized they weren't my skinny jeans that I thought I had grabbed that I practically floated out of the bathroom! Two weeks ago these non-Lycra having no stretch out of the dryer jeans were still snug enough that if I sat in them blood was cut off from the extremeties!


I believe that every day is glorious

But Today is super glorious!

Happy Friday!

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...
