Storm

If you follow the news in Western Washington you know that we got walloped by a wind storm yesterday with 40-45 mph winds and gusts up to 60 mph.

Well, the road to my house looks like a massive evergreen debris field.

As with any storm that involves wind, flooding, and downed trees and branches, we also lost power about 6:40 p.m. last night and it's currently still out at my house.

Thank goodness for candles and headlamps.

The power went out halfway thru the last two rows off this mitten so the light went on and I got it done.

 Otherwise I wouldn't be able to share these awesome photos with you this morning.

Oh, and thinking I pulled it all off and had my sh!t together this morning, I showered in the dark, did my hair in the dark, got dressed in the dark....

I was so close

Till I got in the elevator and realized that I had put my sweater on inside out...

Well I tried.

Thank goodness I didn't attempt my make up in the dark... 

Happy Wednesday

Mr. Brown

these two had no trouble going to sleep at 7:00 last night. Nope. They curled right up and checked out.

That was some storm! Somehow we did not lose power....at home or work! I was hoping my work would, so we could go home early. I hope yours gets restored soon. Kudos to you for being able to knit in the near dark! Your babies look blissfully happy and I think our little girl puppy would have been happy too.

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!
