24 Days of Knitting!

Over on America's Knitting Ravelry page and Facebook page I'm doing my 24 Days of Knitting.

24 patterns that I have ruthlessly reasearched (not really)

24 Patterns that I truly love for their style, the designer, their quickness, their gift-ability and all around yarny goodness.

24 patterns that will hopefully inspire you to hunker down and crack out a slew of knitted gifts wowing all your friends, family, and random strangers with your clever ability and generous spirit.

So now, let me catch you up:

December 1: Bandana Cowl from Purl Soho a freebie on the Purl Bee Blog. It's quick, clever in it's short row shaping. There are many tutorials to walk you thru the whole thing and when it's done you have a smashing gift to give yourself, a friend, a loved one, or a random stranger! You can find the pattern here!

December 2: Two patterns today (don't get excited, this won't be the norm, it's a bonus)

A. Hudson by Alicia Plummer is an aran weight cowl calling for about 380 yards of yarn in two colors. Cost is $6.00 but totally worth the money. You can find the pattern here!

B. Big Herringbone Cowl by Purl Soho. This one is also free from the Purl Bee blog. Calls for worsted weight yarn and size 17 needles. I've not knit this myself but I have seen it knit and it's fabulous! You can get that pattern here!

My bandana cowl knit in 100% cashmere modeled by my handsome Mr. Brown in 2011. Side note: It's probably best not to model cashmere on a dog who requires biscuits for photos and drools when said biscuits are produced.

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...

I could have used another week...

Last week was wonderful... D and I traveled to Scottsdale, AZ to spend time with Mom and G as well as attend some Cactus League Spring Training Baseball. The weather was amazing (after Sunday and Monday's rain storms) High 80's the rest of the week, and sun sun sun and more sun... Waking up in the morning and being able to lounge on the patio with my coffee. Wearing shorts for a week... and finally... Finally I got to see a cactus bloom! We always come to early in the season for it and it bums me out, but not this time...Nope, this time I got to see it. And it was wonderful more pictures to come as well as a 'Favorite Things' post on what I love to do when I am there...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday
