This means that the yarn I ordered is en route and should arrive on my doorstep today while I'm at the office! I can't wait to see it!!
it has some pretty pretty stuff in side!!!
Some of it is top secret present making stuff and the rest is just for fun and to help me finish my autumn vines beret that i only had 1 skein of cascade 220 164 sport. FYI In case you didn't read my post on this.....the Cascade 220 sport only has 164 yards very disappointing when you are halfway thru a hat and realize that you don't have enough when you thought you really should!
 
I also started another project for a baby.....since I seem to be surrounded by pregnant women lately here are some basics:
 
Yarn: Happy Feet DK in a teal blue green colorway
Pattern: Puerperium Cardigan by Kelly Brooker
Synopsis: it's a top-down side button baby cardigan that is designed to be for the first 6 weeks of babies life where it's hard to dress them (I assume) because they are so fragile and tiny yet, however the way this is designed makes it possibly the swath your baby in knitterly warmth and style. Going out? No problem, pop open the sweater, lay the baby in and button down the side! perfect for over those onesies that babies live in the first few weeks!!
Ease: Very easy but some general knowledge on increasing helps and working in the round (sleeves)
Also, it is so easy that I already made a mistake (although it could have been that I read the pattern wrong and I was watching a movie last night)....I missed a buttonhole but short of ripping back 5 rows (i truly do hate ripping back) I'm going to leave it and hope the baby doesn't notice........
Chances are pretty good that I'm going to crank out quite a few of these over the next few weeks since this one only took me a couple days so far :)

Happy Monday!

WAIT!
Spring Update!
1. Our garbage can potatoes are on the move working their way up. D is going to cover them again with dirt today.
2. Baby Spiders have hatched. I love watching baby spiders as long as they are outside.
3. I discovered that the baby spiders have hatched because 3 of them moved into my car and are currently busy building a web between the dashboard and my steering wheel.......
4. I'm afraid of spiders so I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to drive 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?
