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!

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...
