unexplainable...

I've probably gone down this road before, at least that's the tickle in my brain 'don't blog about this you've done that already, or have you?'

so better that I just get it out of my system, again possibly, and be done with it.

people, I want to learn to crochet a granny square. one giant granny square blanket.

I can't explain it.
It's a burning desire.
I blame it on Churchmouse Yarn and Tea for their amazing Crochet Granny Square Blanket...

I blame them because that's the one I want to make.

with a fierceness.

I think about it all the time.
I look at it all the time.
Its possible that I bought the pattern having no idea what all the stuff means.

I did buy the pattern.
I need to buy the yarn.
They did it in noro. It's amazing

You can look at it on their website and drool.

crochet!

I've been known to openly mock it.

I've come to secretly love the granny square though and all it's possibilities and chains and color changes and hook this, hook that wonder.

crochet.

We'll be meeting soon.
please be kind.

now to convince my spouse that I need a Thanksgiving gift of 9 balls of Noro Silk Garden.

He's probably reading this laughing hysterically saying 'no no no not today my lovely bride...'

That's okay. sometimes those balls just fall into my cart and I hit 'buy now' before we can blink...

HA!

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...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... 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!
