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 follow America's Knitting on Ravelry, or me on Instagram then you know that the 2015 Edition of the 24+ days of knitting is coming.

24+ DAYS OF KNITTING IS COMING!

I have this so organized and laid out this year. I've already chosen most of the patterns, made a big list, then I put them on the calendar. Now all I have to do is remember to bring the calendar with me when I'm on the road so I don't leave you all hanging

I'm pretty stoked! I'm going to bring The second Twiggy Sweater on Saturday and probably yarn for the slew of 70 yard mitts I need to make :)

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...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
