knitted goodness.......

I'm on a baby knitting kick lately with so many friends expecting wee ones or having just had a wee one therefore I've forged a new path for 2011 knitting that has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the rest of MY world......which is fine because it's not in my nature to with hold all that is soft warm and fuzzy from little ones who we can force into knitwear because they haven't yet learned the art of saying NO! I don't expect to be on this kick for long since I do have some things I have to get done for myself and I am anxious to get started on them.....However, here is where I am at with the knitting for the babes.......Yesterday I started a little shrug for Elaina and I am almost done with that...you can find the pattern for $4.50 here.

I received a photo text the other day of my Nephew Dog Rupert and apparently he is trying to steal Margie's cowl that I made her for Christmas.......He looks so dashing in it that I think I'm going to have to make him one for Christmas this year......
I was going to load a photo of it but it's not letting me add another at this time so.....I'll post it in a minute with some other photos :)
So, Happy Friday and have a safe and happy weekend!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday
