The Finished Object post that will never end...

You might want to settle into a comfy chair for this, pour yourself a cup of holiday cheer, and maybe a note pad if you want some pattern ideas.. This is a biggie and it goes back a few weeks. 

1. One Bourbon by one of my favorite designers Thea Coleman, aka Baby Cocktails. 
Knit in Kenzie on size 7. I knit this for a friend of mine that I met this summer in our new adventure of wake surfing... I knit this in September and finished it in Hawaii. I delivered it to him in mid October...
 2. Slipper Socks: Bulky wool, size 7 needles, and about 6 hours... my coworker hates the cold. HATES it and now at least her feet are warm and toasty!

3-4. 12th Man hats from Yorkshire Yarns. this was their freebie during the South Sound Yarn Crawl this past May. The one on the left is for D and the one on the right is for his friend Todd. You can purchase the pattern at their website for $6.00 now.

5. Tokyo Scarf. One skein of Tokyo yarn, size 10.5 needles, 22 stitches, knit knit knit till you have enough to bind off and hand to the first person you think needs a little sparkle... 

 6. Aspen Shrug from the Classic Elite book Snow Day published in 2009. If you remember I made a slew of these about 5 years ago and gave them all away. Well I made this one Friday and woke up to four inches of snow on Saturday. Perfect.

 7-9. Autumn by Jane Richmond and a little version called Autumn Leftovers. The big one for me, the little one for Beans.
Super Bulky yarn and big needles means 3 hats in 12 hours. 
BAM 
Lets crack out some more for Christmas!


I made a blue one also and threw a big ass pompom on it... Hats love big ass pompoms. 
So do I for that matter.


 Here we are in our matching hats yesterday before the hockey game... it was about 28 degrees out... 

Happy December 1st!!

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
