Things...

Mr. Brown hoping that I'll feed him two hours early instead of finishing the row I was knitting...
1. I'm still working on the first sleeve of Miss A's frock. Not a shocking declaration I suppose, seeing as how knitting sleeves is like a second form of torture for me... It follows closely behind filing. I hate filing with a passion that if harnessed with the right attitude could bring Peace and Love to the entire world.

2. I've probably mentioned this in the past but I'm a serious homebody. I love to just relax and be loungey at home with the dogs and husband. It conflicts with my need to socialize. This girl can only socialize so many days in a row before she gets cranky and just needs a evening at home... I think the max amount of nights in a row you can get me out is three before my less savory side comes out. D might argue that that number is actually less.

3. I learned something new on Valentine's day this year. Apparently the thing to do with your Valentine is go eat sushi, How did I learn this? D and I went out for sushi to our little quiet neighborhood Korean owned sushi joint. A place where we always sit at the bar and converse quite poorly with the Sam the Sushi Man. Not this time... we were relegated to a table far from the action and by the door... Why sushi anyway? Isn't the night supposed to end with kisses, cuddles and love and now you're tossing in that fresh just eaten toro (fatty tuna) breath.

4. If you aren't following the blog Witty in the City I suggest you start immediately. Not only is her dog Stella adorable the recipes she posts are simply amazing.  I recommend her Crispy Chicken with New Potatoes, One Pot Chicken and Rice, and Slathered Chicken Wings. However after browsing all the recipes on the site there isn't much there that I won't eat...

5. It may be 39 degrees and pelting rain outside but I just made my camping reservations for July. I already feel warmer just thinking about it...

6. As soon as I finish Miss A's frock I have a sweater to start for my sister-in-law that she picked out over Christmas (sorry) and for the first time in 5 years I'm going to knit something in pieces, not top down or seamless... I also have a plan to knit four bunnies for Easter to leave in Phoenix when all the kids are at my mom's place in Arizona... I think they'll be surprised.


Hope you're having a great Wednesday. I had Monday off so I'm all jacked up about what day it is... I'm sure I'll be back on track in time for the weekend.

Love that doggie face. Way, way too cute.

I have sleeve syndrome too, I swear it takes longer to knit a sleeve than a back or half a front.
I have tried all kinds of things. and it is still too long.

I didn't realize it was so cold and miserable there today. I will wish some sunshine your way.

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...
