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.

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs. Seriously how can you not be in love with these guys Ragnar by special request of my husband who is watching Vikings Tiny Parrot. Need to make another and send it to my nephew Ragnar likes the squirrel and dino Ragnar thinks this tiny cat is an attach tiger but it's just a cat. Sumo still waiting for his opponent Parrot meet Dragon *Drago ...

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
