ghost knitting...

Phoebe caught in the act of covering herself up...
I have a friend.
She's a pretty knew knitter.
She took on a project that, while it's not overly ambitious, the timing made it stressful.

New house
Holiday's
Family
Moving the week between Christmas & New Years...

You know the anxiety you feel when someone you love picked out a project and they are expecting it and you just can't get it done?

Then the disappointment when they open their gift and realize it's not what you were planning on knitting them. *

Well that's where my friend was at.
Distraught she brought me the project to to rip out.

There is a new deadline for the project and she just doesn't have the time, plus there is a little project anxiety in there, to get it done.

Enter Me.

I cut the yarn and hooked the mohair lace and aran tweed up to my ball winder and went to town.
Re-cast on the stitches and I am well on my way to getting it done for her to gift next week.

I'm liking it so much I might make one for myself.

I also have a couple other secret projects that I'm working on for a couple friends and I'm excited to share them with you but I can't do that till I get the green light.

*FYI: If you ever express displeasure at what I knit for you, you can be sure it'll be the last thing you ever get. 

xoxo Knittahs!

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...

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...

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
