Busy...

But my shop sample for So Much Yarn in downtown Seattle is complete and ready for delivery!
Yarn is Berroco Ultra Alpaca
Size 10 needles
Very Cozy!

I'm wearing it now since my office clearly has the air conditioning turned on in it! Brrrrr.

Need to make another one for me!

I really like the cowl pattern, looks great, I used to have an office like that.
Saying Hi to you from Bothell/Kirkland we are off to Home Goods in Lynnwood (Thank you for the heads up) Joanne fabrics and Big lots with DIL, we have fun shopping trips, her first to Home Goods.

Ok Tell us what the pattern is.

Pattern is Faraway, So Close. A shawl pattern by Carina Spencer.

Don't forget Hobby Lobby...I've never been to home goods. I just recently heard about it!

Oh Shoot I forgot to take her there. We have them, the one we have the yarn is very so-so, but the other stuff is great!
Home Goods is still being shopped out, they cannot keep up with the demand yet. I chatted with the clerks and watched and as soon as they stocked people were filling their carts. I suggest if you go on a weekend go as soon as they open. Today we are heading into Redmond BF and Costco(Kirkland) and then they are off to Salish Lodge for an overnight and we get to babysit our 1 1/2yr old Granddaughter.
They liked Big Lots too, but I didn't find any great yarn in Lynnwood. JoAnnes was for fabric ideas for decorating.
If we check our Hobby Lobby I will give you info, it should be great though, ours is huge.
I love spending time with my DIL.
Will check out the pattern thankyou.

I go to Hobby Lobby all the time. If you are looking for a good yarn selection try Great Yarns (Everett) So Much Yarn (Seattle, north of pike place market above cost plus imports. Or Pacific Fabrics in Everet has a small but excellent selection of yarn. Have fun babysitting!

it's gorgeous!! I hear you about air conditioning being a totally valid reason for knits like this in the summer. Great colour!

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
