Visit Home.......

It's fall in the Midwest. My favorite time to be here, and I will be for a week, helping out around the house, playing with my nephews who now that they've been in school for a coupls seasons can carry on quite the conversations...........like where do your brains go when the doctor takes them out.....quite honestly I don't know but you know they're going to make me google it tomorrow right?

So tomorrow my 'to-do' list is Visit mom in the hospital, deliver a hat to her friend that I am making for him right now, try and find the dry cleaners on main street in hopkins to pick a sweater that she had fixed, the beauty of this errand is that I never knew Hopkins had a main street......so that'll be fun.....but best of all.......I get to enjoy the changing of the leaves and share them with you......mom is fine by the way........a not so minor surgery that went really well.....so all of us are ecstatic.............




this is my nephew dog, Rupert....he is very helpful in the kitchen......he loves to do the dishes......





my 'brother' Jake.......

the road home....

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?
