New Day.....

Yesterday was a bad day so I chose not to post as a precaution to writing inappropriate things, and as I would prefer to keep this clean, those of you who know me quite well know this will be a challenge, especially given my favoritism for certain swear words. However, the day ended well and that I will talk about.


Marcy and I started the socks. She had to rip back a row right away, I had to rip out the whole thing last night while watching 24. However I am now working on the heel flap of the first sock. The yarn is fantastic. I like the colorway that I chose and I would probably choose it again except that I won't do it with this sock pattern. I think it's better suited to a straight up simple short socklette, but I am enjoying the feel of the yarn, it's soft, springy and knitting up wonderfully. As soon as I get some pictures of Marcy's sock I'll post our progress.





Last night, since I decided I had to be at the office super early, I took my shower before bed, well, it didn't start out very well. I get in the shower (it's tub shower with a curtain) realize the water isn't at the scalding temperature I prefer, lean over to adjust it and I slip, shift right and fall backwards out of the tub and land on my arse. I'm not hurt, well maybe a little bruise on my arse, but my head hit my recently discarded clothes and I think the shower curtain may have broke my fall if only a little. Once the shock wore off that I had actually fallen OUT of the shower, it was pretty amusing. Probably had to be there but at the same time why would anybody have been there.





Because of my mood yesterday I skipped knitting class, deciding that it would be best if I was not in a group where everyone carried pointy sticks, I'll go on Sunday however and get some new pictures of the yarn dogs, Angus Beefcake and Fiona.





That's all I have for now, as soon as I get some pictures of the socks I'll post them but for now, how about a picture of.........Angus Beefcake

Happy Wednesday!

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...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... 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!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
