Dear Mr. Virus,

To say that your arrival Monday afternoon was a surprise would be an understatement.
I was shocked really.
You've always had horrible timing but this really takes the cake.
Not that I can eat cake, thank you very much. Ever since you landed I've had trouble swallowing.

It would be nice if you could check your calendar and match it with mine for future visits.
It's the Christmas season. It's literally 7 days till Christmas Eve.
I have stuff to do, and entertaining your infectious arse isn't on the list.
I have a houseful of people to prepare for this coming Saturday.
I have a dinner on Christmas Eve to prepare
Plus I have a Christmas Brunch and Dinner to prepare on Christmas Day!

Really. could you have picked a worse time?
I have gifts I need to get shipped
I have gifts I need to finish knitting
I still have to invade the mall and do a little Christmas shopping.
spending all day with you yesterday trying to convince you to take a hike was a wasted day and none of what needed to get done could get done.
You literally zapped me of all my energy.

It's not fair, it's not nice, and I think you've overstayed your welcome.

It's time for you take your leave.
I don't have time for you right now.

Sincerely,
C. McSickypants.

p.s. please return my voice before you leave.

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!
