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.

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...

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?
