Thru the door in the wall.........

I am Beaune, France, center of the Cote de Beaune
I am in heaven.
Me, Mom, Wine, Yarn.
Can it get any better? Maybe........but I doubt it.
Above is the door in the Rempart Ste. Jean that leads to the Bastion Ste. Anne, part of the old castle wall in Beaune, also where we are currently staying.
Below you see the entire Cote de Beaune from the Aloxe Corton Appelation.

I'd like to be witty and smart and act like I know what I'm talking about when it comes to this but here is what I know.
there are four Appellations
Village, Regional, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru.
Grand Cru makes up about 2% of the wine in the Cote de Beaune, Premier Cru is very good, and the Regional and Village are also good but not as good as Premier or Grand.
However, mom and I have enjoyed many 'village' appellations and have only sampled a 'Grand Cru'. Se La Vie

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?
