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!

Baby sophisticate looks great, having fun pinning with you. Pinster is great for creativity.
we lived in Redmond for 9 years, our son is still in Bothell so come your way often.
We used to go to Banks often. Have a great Memorial Day, it is probably a big track day. Love following your blog.

Great Job!!! Yes it keeps me thinking of new things to do. Almost overwhelming. i try to only spend an hour a day on it. there are so many things I have thought about and to put them in one place is amazing.
I love your blog and think of the places you go often, it is just we now need the lack of rain, but we still miss the area and of course with a 1.5 yr old grandaughter there we go as often as we can (at least every 3 months. I hit the Ben Franklin in Redmond for ideas and other places.
I truly like your knitting projects and your mom must be a hoot..
I promise to try and be a good pinner.

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...
