A conversation...

D: will you do me a favor today?
Me: what is it? (I rarely give a straight up yes when anyone asks me this question)
D: will you go to the team store and pick me up a Seahawks tee?
Me: the one in Seattle?
D: no at the mall.
Me: The mall? (I say this a little taken aback and with some surprise)
D: yes... The mall
Me: ummm okay *i quick pull out my phone
D: what are you doing
Me: pulling up a map of the mall.
D: why?
Me: I need to map out the quickest way in and out in relation to the team store...

I have mall aversion. I don't think I've voluntarily gone to the mall in 25 years... I go at Christmas because we are procrastinators, but even then I'm not that willing :) and the last two Christmases we've gone to mall I've broken out in a rash all over my torso... Not fun.

Needless to say I did the favor, d will be sporting a new vintage looking Seahawks shirt at the preseason game against the Broncos tonight...

Me! I'll be kicking it with my niece at the Aquasox game in Everett...

Unless it rains out

Which looks highly likely...

For now, I'm knitting.

D just reminded me I need to pick him up at work.

So much for knitting.

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...

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...

I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!
