Do You Have a New Post Yet?

A blog, I've discovered, is an interesting thing. If you write one, you hope people read it, and if they do indeed read it, you hope they like it, find it interesting, and maybe even informative. Knowing that people read your blog, depending on your psyche, can create a whole new world of doubt completely different from, 'should I really walk out of the house wearing this today?' kind of doubt. A blog, for the most part is a brain dump, that's why my doctor calls them. Says it's healthy. Get it out, never look back. I never read what I blog, which explains some of the bad grammar and spelling errors. However, being as it is a 'brain dump' for me and helps with the ADD, it's not a good place to dump bad feelings. I choose to write the blog to amuse. I find my life amusing and want to share what I find amusing with everyone else, knowing that I am really the only one who finds my day to day interactions with life to be absolutely hilarious.

The question was posed to me a couple days ago, "have you given up on your blog?"


It made me think. The answer is no, I haven't given up on my blog. There are a host of reasons that I haven't posted but the biggest one is that I haven't been in a good place emotionally for a couple months now and felt that instead of blogging something that could eventually be harmful to me or someone else, I chose to hold back, sort myself out, and get on track. I still knit like a maniac and as you'll see I apparently had a black out at a number of yarn stores based on what my desk looks like right now. I go to work every day, I've travelled with my mom a couple times and have spent time with my husband and dogs. I've even taken up gardening, and as bad a gardener as I am, I find myself enjoying it. Plus, if I ever figure it out, it's one more thing that will bring my mom and I closer.


So, here I am, getting a better grip on my life and what's important, and coming back to entertain you with my run on sentences, beer induced knitting mishaps, yarn store blowouts (not during a sale) and my most recent adventure with Mom to Lopez Island, where we did a bike ride but were also invited to the studio of Island Fibers.


This might be a two parter because I have a lot of pictures to go through and explain, so I'll wrap this post up with one statement.



Clearly, I've gone insane in the past 3 weeks.....(please note that I did NOT include the yarn I purchased in Italy)

Megan......maybe that intervention isn't a bad idea....I'll bring the Leinenkugel's

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?
