running behind...

I blame it on the three day weekend.
Yesterday I meant to do the weekend rewind.
Today I meant to post what I've been knitting
Tomorrow nobody knows.
Thursday I'll have a recipe for you all that I've made twice in the past week and it's delicious.

So how about this really quickly:
Friday was my first bowling league. 85-85-138 was my score for all three sets
Friday night was also a hockey game with friends.
Saturday I was lazy for the first part of the morning and don't feel one bit guilty about it, and Saturday evening was another hockey game that ended in an overtime shootout! Very exciting, especially since the Silvertips won!
Sunday is weigh in day and lucky me I'm down two pounds (i've been really focusing on getting my health on along with getting D's health on) Sunday was also my first sewing class. True to form I didn't purchase any of the supplies ahead of time instead choosing to wait till 3 hours before class started. Let's just say that sitting for two hours learning something new humbles you in a whole new way. I'm excited though. If this doesn't work out though I have a back up plan...

I knit a slouch. The Felicity pattern on Ravelry in Trilly Silk and Merino. It's beautiful.
I am currently knitting another slouch. Seedling by Alana Dakos in 100% cashmere in the perfect shade of red.

So there's the update
tomorrow will be pictures
and maybe by thursday i'll get my groove back.

we can all have hope right?

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?
