WIP It


I have a slew of WIP's going on over here at the Casa de C.Knitter...

This is not breaking news I know.

However, there are three that have deadlines.

1. Lottie Cardigan for Beans. Her birthday is the end of the month, but she's turning two and she's not going to care that her cardigan that won't fit her till she's four isn't ready on her birthday.

2. Knit your own Boxer. This is for a friend. It's deadline is Monday. M-O-N-D-A-Y. I really, really, really need to get him finished and delivered by... MONDAY. Because he's going on a road trip.

3. Shaken or Stirred KAL Sweater. This deadline is June 30 and thus it's been pushed to the sidelines till 1 & 2 are completed and I can find the pattern with my notes written on it. #knitpartyfail

4. My birthday is coming up. So of course I cast on something for me. Not to mention a huge sack of yarn arrived for my birthday that's going to be a brand new cardigan for me! I'm dying to cast it on but I have to finish now... 1-4 before I can cast on #5...

It's a sickness I know.
I love the yarn
I love the possibilities that lie within each skein.
I love the colors.
The color combos!

I'll stop now.

OH! I almost forgot to tell you... The Green Soul Sucking Beast Poncho is off the needles waiting in the wings for a soak and a block... then we'll be to the griping point about seaming and picking up stitches. Let's make this WIP 6.

OOOH! Remember the journey two years ago where I had a molar taken out and thus began the implant process... well, 2 years and $10,000 dollars later my mouth is full of chiclets again. It's very weird.

ps that $10,000 number is no joke. That's a lot of wool money sitting in the back of my mouth who's main job is to masticate vegetables.

ciao!

Carmel - I know you can 'WIP it, WIP it good!'. We are so much alike. I love the possibilities in each skein as well. I also know the pain of replacement teeth. They want to put a bridge where I lost one 5 years ago - for $1300. Well, I'm thinking so far everything is fine, so until I become independently wealthy or some other tooth problem happens, I'll march on without the tooth. No one can tell just looking at me anyway.

Oh those pesky wips, getting in the way of new possibilities! I lost my very back molar a couple of years ago, and it is a good thing it is out of sight as there is no way I could afford 10,000! Yikes! I wish you and your new tooth all the best of luck and hope it will stay put for the rest of your life!

Kim, my dental insurance didn't pay for anything really and I think there are places that do it for a lot cheaper, I had to have bone grafting and that tacked on $4,000.00 unexpectedly so it not on cost more it drew it out longer... the molar I had replaced was in the back but my mouth is pretty small so it was driving me crazy not having something there :)

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...

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

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...
