Work in Progress.....

Well according to this photo I have two WIP's.....both of which I am enjoying immensely! It's a beautiful afternoon north of Seattle and for the first time since last summer the breeze carries more warmth and not the sting of winter! This is my number one favorite thing to do after work on Fridays, sit on my deck, knit something simple, and drink a beer(s). D is out at the race track so it's just me and the hounds tonight. Soon we're going to grab another beverage, some cheese & crackers and hunker down out here to work on this current project!
Ever since I joined Ravelry in 2008 I have been enamored with baby sleep sacks......I just love them so now I am making the first of many I am sure!
Pattern: the Ella and Grady Sleep Sack (that's right folks it's a twofer!)
Yarn: happy feet dk in a color I call Crayola Crazy!
Needles: 16" size 3 circulars

This is the Grady Sleep Sack the Ella one will be done next!
Later tonight when I hunker down with a movie I am going to knit a Rebecca Danger pattern I think I will do her chubby chirps! I have a lot of yarn leftover from Damiens blanket and snuggy so I think he should have a knit toy as well!
Happy Friday!
Cheers!

Mom......can you overnight me a hot dog from Gene & Judes in Chicago I saw you had a few!

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?
