No Title...

I can't think of one to express how this photo makes me feel.
It feels soothing and peaceful.

Especially after the horrors of yesterday!

These colors are so much my mom.

Which makes sense since she bought them to knit something for herself then changed her mind about it...

As you can see I've just barely started the second section of the shawl. I can't wait to add the third color, the color I refer to as 'ninja' because its the same color as my favorite yard squirrel who showed up all stealthy like last fall.

Who names a squirrel ninja?

Me.

He acts very ninja-like. I'll try and grab a pic of him doing something ninja-ie. he got pretty plump over the winter, someone must have put out her Christmas nuts him...

Wow. That's a road I didn't intend to go down...

Anyway,
Happy Wednesday!

p.s.
I'm wearing my Multnomah today and its lovely!

So you finally got to wear your Multnomah? That is super.
Why is it that it is so hard not to be nice to the little creatures. My husband had a slightly malnourished, handicapped squirrel he fed out the window of his upstairs office. Eventually it made the tiny hole in the screen bigger and came through to sit on the desk and be fed. Whose fault was it oh the squirrel's because he made the hole bigger.
I have a silly question for you, some time ago your mom went to a thrift store and found at least a suitcase full of yarn, whatever happened to it? I have been curious ever since you posted about it. Just being nosey.

I have made some stuff from it.
Bump's old Man cardigan was knit with the tweedy cashmere as were his slippers.
I'm pretty much hoarding it though :)
i've done some hats, gloves, cowls, and such for myself and some friends. most of the thrift store find was cashmere, merino, silk...

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...
