Feast Week

It's upon us... There is no doubt.
People are packing into Costco like its a grand opening
The grocery stores are filled with people I am convinced are there for the firs time.
I was described by my mom and D as a woman in a mission today as they saw me streak thru the store gathering stuff for the feast I'm about to foist upon them!

I'm going to make a pie for thanksgiving and G's eyes lit up Tim I told him that he needs to lower his expectations, they're high for good reason, he's had pies made by my brother, I had to to tell him that I've never actually made a pie, unless you count the cool whip jello thing I made a couple summers ago and a few pudding pies.

Those don't really count except they are delicious!

Tomorrow mom and I are off to shop, explore, and wander about and hopefully locate the yarn shop down here... I hope its a good one.

I have a bunch of finished stuff I need to photograph and I'm going to do it here at moms and then post it all on the blog for y'all... Hopefully by the time I'm done I'll remember what the project details were all about!

Happy Sunday night!
I'm working out a thanksgiving post in my nugget but I haven't settled on an approach yet.

It will definitely have to be a two parter because you'll have to see my pie baking attempt in photos, including the shaving of chocolate...

Xoxo peeps!

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!
