24DOK Day 17: Back 2 Back

I'm sticking with my schedule of events for the time being so that means you get back to back Jane Richmond patterns.

Headed to a Christmas party or nine this weekend?
Need to find yet another hostess gift?
Have some extra super bulky yarn?
Say about 270 yards?
Size 17 needles?
Crochet hook?

Did you say yes to all of the above?

Did you give it a 'Hells Yesssss'?

If you did, then all you need is this fantabulous pattern.

Elliston

A super-bulky lacey ribbed fringed scarf.

I know. So many wonderful things wrapped up in one scarf, how can you hold back.

I had the honor, the pleasure, and delight of test knitting this for her before it released last year.

My friend who was the recipient loves it.

I love it.


Again, It's one of those things that I make for someone else and think 'i need one of those for me'

And then like a crazy crow get distracted by more patterns, yarns, notions, life and it falls to the back of the pile.

This scarf knits up crazy fast! It's so warm and squishy, whoever you gift it to, will love it.

Don't be ashamed to wrap that up for yourself and put it under the tree either. I make, buy and wrap a lot of stuff for me that I put under the tree and tell everyone the dogs bought it for me.

I promise, when you knit this scarf and give it a test wrap about your neck you'll be as delighted as I was last year when I took these pictures...

I wonder where that striped sweater is, I love that thing but it seems to have vanished.

Maybe Mr. Brown took it. He's was notorious in his younger days of taking my things and hiding them under his bed.

Rock on Thursday.
Cannon ball us into the weekend!

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
