WIP.........

aka: Work In Progress
Cream & Sugar Cowl
Plucky Merino Fingering Weight
Color  Oz (can you guess why it's called Oz?)
I'm still working on the 1.5 inches of 2x2 ribbing for the base. I'm not knitting slow although I may be logging fewing knitting hours as of late but not by much. However 2x2 ribbing in a fingering weight yarn does not a fast project make and I just keep knitting and it slowly grows longer. Soon, I think, I'll start the cables. Maybe? Hopefully today....but probably tomorrow. I love the yarn, it's simply amazing and feels so nice to the touch, I'm pretty sure I'll wear the beegee's out of this thru the fall, winter, spring, and probably next summer if it's anything like June and July was this summer here in the Northwest.

After this I have to, HAVE to knit some baby stuff, finish some baby stuff, and wrap some baby stuff because they don't cook forever (thank goodness) and the way time is moving they will be here before I know it!
Happy Tuesday

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?
