Work In Progress

I know, I know, it's selfish to knit something for myself when there are so many other people that I am knitting for at the same time, but every once in a while I need to do some me knitting and this is it.
It has all the elements I love about a sweater made for me......
1. Top down
2. Short sleeves
3. Fetching cable pattern down the front and back.
4. Calls for worsted weight

Pattern Name: Jetty
Designer: Cecily Glowik MacDonald
Website: Winged Knits you can also find this and more of her patterns on Ravelry!
(I can't link because not only am I typing this on my phone I am doing it with my thumb....and I wonder where my wrist problems are coming from lol)
Size Range: 30&3/4 inches to 52
Knitting know how: cabling, increases, decreases, and remembering which stitch marker you designated for the beginning of the round. I have eight total stitch markers on here now and for this project I chose the 'fatty tuna' sushi stitch marker as my beginner. Since I used my fancy App for my iPhone camera the color is not accurate. The correct color is more of a deep orange burnt sienna......perfect to wear when tripping thru the pumpkin patch this fall!!!

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?
