You don't have to wait for fall -- just crank up the A/C and wear em now! That's what I was doing last summer when I knitted a pair of socks each month for the whole year!

@Kelly: traditionally houses in the NW don't have air conditioning because it never gets that hot for that long here in the summer.
@Lynn: So excited for Banks, but equally excited for the Hydro races tomorrow...
@Julie: I have been seeing this yarn around ravelry and just fell in love with it however it corresponded with the time I fell out of love with sock knitting...the fact that I knit short socks makes it easier...

My kiddoes are going to Sun Lakes the week after labor Day with a repeat group. My son misses Banks but there are no accomidations that fit all the aspects of the group. Boats tents cabins pool golf and dogs. I was thinking of Banks last week and how much we miss it.
That sock yarn is marvelous, love love the way they turned out.

I guess they have had these reservations for years where they are going, I think there is soething like 30-50 people.
Me I still like Banks best. if we ever decide to go again i will contact you to see who has cabins that allow dogs. Got to have our "special babies' along with our regular ones.

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...
