it's getting to me...

Knitting baby blankets...
and more baby blankets
and more, more, more.

don't get me wrong, I love knowing that my friends and family have warm blankets to wrap their new bundles of love in, and I love seeing photos of the babies with their blankets.

But...

I should make that bigger because it's a big one

BUT...

I need a little something more....
A wee bit
Of instant gratification and some more time to finish a couple things.

So I bring my Ivy Trellis sock to work to knit on
and last night I cast on a fingering weight baby sweater for my new hockey buddy Beans.


Beans and I at dinner the other night getting our pre-game funk on... well I was getting my funk on she was just watching me... skeptically


I chose the colors on the Silvertips team jersey's.
I even contacted Robin at Buttons by Robin on Etsy to create some very special buttons for it.

You know what's funny?
I said 'Instant Gratification' and 'fingering weight' in the same post.
It's like an oxymoron :)

Or I'm a moron for thinking that anything fingering weight euqals instant gratification at the very least.

It's going to be adorable on her, plus I heard that the team store has finally gotten in some baby onesies so she'll have a complete outfit...

Beans loves hockey.
She loves to watch the boys skate.
I like to watch the boys skate.
I can't skate so I find it fascinating when they jump in the air.
Beans finds the fast movement fascinating.
Maybe she finds me fascinating?

Busy day/night today
Follow up for Mr. Brown (I failed to mention he had a corneal ulcer and has been getting drops at ridiculous times of day, plus another ear infection so he's deaf again while the medical tar absorbs) So, follow up for him today.
Bowling League tonight
followed by
Hockey Night!

Talk to you tomorrow before we head out to Sausage Fest in Everett!

Sausage Fest, sounds glorious. I've never been to one...
Don't worry, I'm making tons of dirty jokes in my head and cracking myself up!

Happy Friday

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...
