randomly on a day that is tuesday but feels like a monday...

I did some corner cleaning yesterday and found these baby socks that I started while we were sailing in Maine... seeing as how the baby is due on Saturday I need to get cracking on the second one and pop that bad boy in the mail. They live in Colorado so this baby is going to need some warm wooly socks!

Aren't they adorable? They obviously got tossed aside during the unpacking phase of that trip and the repacking for a camping trip.

They are seriously the tiniest stitches I've ever knit. I'm smitten with them...

Below is the begining of a baby blanket for my friend and 3Day walking and tent partner Alyssa. Her and her husband are expecting baby boy number 2 and she's in love with chevron striping so I am doing the Walt Painted Chevron Baby Blanket... more about that in a later post but for now here is a sneak peek...

I had to buy another trunk size tote for the stash and could probably use two more. This is the closet in my guest room. Top two totes are just fingering weight sock yarn. It's packed in there like sardines...

In the photo below is all the yarn scattered about the living room that needs a home. including the Nordstroms shopping bag. That has a load of stuff in it as well...

Speaking of guest room, it's open for business. I need to get my artwork up on the wall but the bed is fresh and comfy... fair warnings to any knitting friends who come to stay.

You will be subjected to a strip search before departure.

Just putting that out there.

These are baby socks.

These are specifically Beans new socks, or will be when I finish the second one but I have a more pressing issue with the socks above. Yarn is Knit Picks Felici in Fingering weight Sweetheart colorway and Stroll Glimmer for the toe. We tried them on her. If you don't think baby socks on their own are swoon worthy wait till you see them on a chubby baby foot.

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...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
