Post Retreat in Pictures...

I've finally crashed.
I get super excited for this retreat every year...(see the post from Friday Morning)
I knit late into the nights
Get up before anyone on vacation rightfully should (p.s. I'm not the only one who does this on the retreats)
Knit in my room till 5:30 a.m.
Wander into the main living room because the coffee has been put out by then, and talk with the other knitters who wake before the sun like moi.
Suck down more coffee than I probably should and settle in for a day of knitting broken up by wandering thru town looking for lunch, and then again for dinner.
So here are some photos I took with my phone around Langley and my knitting...

Leaving Mukilteo on the Ferry....this is the Mukilteo Lighthouse


Pretty pile of leaves on the sidewalk


the fall colors were in full glory around town...


I walked past this little deck alley when I was strolling thru town. I was completely alone on the street at this moment. I walked past, stopped, got my camera app ready, stepped backwards and as they were making their way towards me, I snapped the picture and it's possible I did a little run to get away, about a block later I looked back and one was peeking around the corner at me...


I didn't realize I had set my knitting across the table from me but there it was, we were having breakfast together.


The windstorm that came up. Blew a table and umbrella off the dining deck at the inn, flickered the lights a few times as well.


Morning sunrise after the storm. Taken from my little deck


Bumps tee sweater knit in Dream in color Cocoa Kiss


Sunday Sunrise...isn't this light beautiful?


A Little alone time knitting in my room, and yes that is Harry Potter on the TV.


Bumps Sleep sack...I knit on it a bit while waiting for the ferry back home.


And baby A's little Baby Gaga poncho took less than a day and is super adorable!

I always make sure I get the same room every year for the retreat. I love it. It has a little deck that looks out towards saratoga passage and camano island....The rest of the Inn is beautiful as well and so cozy.

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?
