Yarn Failure part II, and something about Mr. E Bunny

It must be the time of year...

It started out pretty well. I had four balls wound and then it all went to hell...........for crying out loud, I didn't even get it on the swift and all hell broke loose, that's how fast it happened.

Then only upside is this. Instead of 360 yards like I had last year, it was only 109.......Thank Goodness. I must admit though that at one point I was tempted to leave it as an offering on Marcy's desk in the morning, but then I had a beer and settled down.
Phew.......
Now it can become this.....Emmaline from the latest issue of knitty.
On a side note, Easter went off without a hitch as far as I know, the Family in Arizona had a blast at the Easter Egg Hunt at the club. There is some chatter that my brother may have killed the Easter Bunny when he crossed the road but we're still waiting on confirmation that it was the actually E. Bunny and not some imposter trying to scare the children on the 18th green.
*disclaimer* While my brother did accidentally hit a rabbit with mom's car, it was not the Easter Bunny so if any of you burst into tears at the thought that baskets full of chocolate, yarn, and jelly beans would not appear next year, have no fear, the E. Bunny lives on delivering chocolaty goodness and yarn to all.

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?
