Saturday: the end of 'one of those weeks'...

It wasn't a bad week but it was a busy week...
Between my car getting repaired for a third time in a month, three hockey games, and bowling league on Friday night followed by one of the three games (the third one is tonight) I just haven't had much knitting time. I get a little bit each day at work but the evenings were just crazy! So instead of having a finished slouch to give my friend today I have an 'almost finished' slouch to show her. Today is going to be just as busy as the week has been, which is why I'm brewing a second pot of coffee!
A Lacrosse game that my friends son is playing in (i've never seen a lacrosse game so I'm pretty excited about this)
A trip to Pacific Fabrics for some pre-ruffled fabric to make myself a skirt to wear to Scottsdale
The usual trip to the grocery store
followed by the Silvertips hockey game tonight!
Plus I want to put together some St. Patrick's Day treats for all my nephews and nieces!
So, here is what Lisa is going to see today when I meet her at the lacrosse field...

Hopefully tomorrow instead of a 'still not finished post' I can show you a finished object post and the start of my next rustling leaves beret...

Happy Saturday!

I'm off to Snohomish to cheer on some lacrosse!!

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?
