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!

Baby sophisticate looks great, having fun pinning with you. Pinster is great for creativity.
we lived in Redmond for 9 years, our son is still in Bothell so come your way often.
We used to go to Banks often. Have a great Memorial Day, it is probably a big track day. Love following your blog.

Great Job!!! Yes it keeps me thinking of new things to do. Almost overwhelming. i try to only spend an hour a day on it. there are so many things I have thought about and to put them in one place is amazing.
I love your blog and think of the places you go often, it is just we now need the lack of rain, but we still miss the area and of course with a 1.5 yr old grandaughter there we go as often as we can (at least every 3 months. I hit the Ben Franklin in Redmond for ideas and other places.
I truly like your knitting projects and your mom must be a hoot..
I promise to try and be a good pinner.

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Spring Cleaning = no VK Live

I don't get a cleaning bug often. I truly dislike it. I would rather knit than scrub a toilet or polish something... But it happens that I get the urge to purge (too much listening to the Top Gun soundtrack this weekend) and when the momentum is high and lasts three days I won't fight it... I can't. Plus I probably saved at least $250.00 by not going to a knitting expo! Have you ever done a big ruthless purge on your stuff? You can learn a lot about who you are or who you have been... 1. I apparently have an affection for lined notebooks and notepads considering I've counted 17 in my living room alone. 2. I easily have 50+ knitting books on my shelf and have only knit one pattern from one of them. 3. 2011 I was a grumpy snot at Christmas. So grumpy I didn't even open any Christmas cards. I didn't thrown them out either apparently... I'll open them later today. 4. My sister-in-law M gives me some pretty awesome gifts. Funny notebooks (o...

quirks, questions, and things best remembered......

1. Two bads never ever equal a better. 2. Muffins or Cupcakes I will always eat the top last. D thought it would be funny one time to teach me a lesson regarding this little nuance of my behavior, so at a party he sees my cupcake top sitting on my plate and he walks by and quick stuffs it in his mouth. He said it was to teach me a lesson, but I think we all know who learned a lesson that night. 3. While it is always to have good oral hygiene habits for both man and beast alike I would like to strongly caution you against keeping the beasts tooth paste next to your own toothpaste. Trust me when I say the beast will get much more enjoyment from your toothpaste gracing his brushes bristles than you will trying to do a massive mouthwash flush of poultry flavored peppermint paste. Learn from my mistake...... 4. I always feel sorry for people who I either happen to be talking to or emailing at the moment my medication kicks in. It can't be fun, but you all are such good sports about it. ...
