All About Girls...

Along with the frock I'm making for Miss A. I started this Big Bad Baby Blanket for our friends daughter-in-law who is expecting their (our friends) first granddaughter...

I've always liked pinks and greens together so when the word came down the J was having a baby girl I went ahead and ordered the yarn...

I'm not one for traditional baby pastels. They make me uncomfortable. I like bold, and I like texture. I think babies like texture to, I know I did. I can remember falling asleep at night with my sateen edged blanket, rubbing the silky feel...
So instead of the traditional blah pastels I went with grass green and raspberry pink... I think it's wonderful, so does Grandma and Mom to be...
Plus the BBBB is all about texture and you get it with just changing the stitch from a knit to a purl. Plus the LB Wool-Ease thick and quick is super soft and squishy... Not to mention machine washable!
I'm almost halfway. Maybe I need to make a BBBB for myself...

Happy Monday!

ps my favorite ads last night during the Super Bowl were;
1. Doritos with the goat... The goat screamed just like a friend of ours and delighted us to no end.
2. The Budweiser Clydesdale... Brought me to tears...
3. and surprisingly the Pistachio commercial... I'll never sing Gangnam style the same way again, nor will I eat pistachio's without singing 'heeeeeyyyy!!! Crack your nuts now'

Winner!

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
