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!

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...

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!
