It's Here!!

The 24 Days of Knitting starts today!

Are you excited?

I'm excited.

I'm excited for all that I have in store for you over the next month.

Today's project is a biggie but I believe that you all could crack this out by Saturday, blocked, buttoned, wrapped and placed under the tree...

All by Saturday.

Today's pattern is by one of my favorite knitting designers that I have had the pleasure of getting to know thru her blog, social media and testing her patterns from time to time.

Jane Richmond. 

Need I say more?
You know it's going to be great.
It's going to be fast.
It's going to be beautiful.

This pattern is no exception.

Twiggy 

Oh how I love this cardigan. I literally knit mine in two days.


It doesn't have the buttons on yet because they arrived in the mail yesterday.

They'll be on by this weekend though and I'll be sporting this bad boy all winter long.

This cardigan will make a great gift for a loved one or a great gift for yourself.

It's perfect to wrap up in early in the morning while still in your flannel bottoms, and it'll take you all the way into your jeans later in the day...

Go on out, get yourself some super-bulky yarn, size 15 needles and whack this out today!

I love this! Doubt it would only take me 2 days but it would go fast with that size yarn and needle!

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...
