Winding Down...

At some point this month I declared October 'Knit for Me Month'.
I might have said it outloud but I don't recall.
It's not that I don't like knitting for others, in fact, looking back on the month quite a few of the things knit really ended up with other people...
Well, October is winding down and November is looming ahead with so much happening my head has already started spinning on it's axis.
My brother and nephew are arriving in a few days for the weekend. Birds never been to Seattle and told my brother he wanted to see the Space Needle. So you can imagine I'm pretty excited to see the both of them.
The So Much Yarn knitting retreat is coming up the following weekend so I will be there knitting my little heart out for 3 days...again, as you can imagine I'm pretty stoked about that.
Following that my mom and her friend arrive the Sunday before for Thanksgiving...I'm REALLY excited about her visit...Living so far from home means I don't get to see my family nearly as often as I like so whenevern the opportunity arrives I am ecstatic.

Well here I am on this blustery Sunday afternoon while D is headed for the Seahawks game, about ready to declare November 'All about Baby Month'
I have a new niece and a new nephew arriving shortly, not to mention a very dear friend is welcoming her first baby after the first of the year...I have a lot of baby stuff to crank out in the next few weeks. I have a start on some but not nearly what I want to have done...

This gives me one more day to complete my current project. Another Smocked Slouch in Dream in Color Classy for me (I hope)

Stay Tuned I'll post a photo tomorrow.

xoxo
happy sunday

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?
