Busy...

But my shop sample for So Much Yarn in downtown Seattle is complete and ready for delivery!
Yarn is Berroco Ultra Alpaca
Size 10 needles
Very Cozy!

I'm wearing it now since my office clearly has the air conditioning turned on in it! Brrrrr.

Need to make another one for me!

Oh Shoot I forgot to take her there. We have them, the one we have the yarn is very so-so, but the other stuff is great!
Home Goods is still being shopped out, they cannot keep up with the demand yet. I chatted with the clerks and watched and as soon as they stocked people were filling their carts. I suggest if you go on a weekend go as soon as they open. Today we are heading into Redmond BF and Costco(Kirkland) and then they are off to Salish Lodge for an overnight and we get to babysit our 1 1/2yr old Granddaughter.
They liked Big Lots too, but I didn't find any great yarn in Lynnwood. JoAnnes was for fabric ideas for decorating.
If we check our Hobby Lobby I will give you info, it should be great though, ours is huge.
I love spending time with my DIL.
Will check out the pattern thankyou.

I go to Hobby Lobby all the time. If you are looking for a good yarn selection try Great Yarns (Everett) So Much Yarn (Seattle, north of pike place market above cost plus imports. Or Pacific Fabrics in Everet has a small but excellent selection of yarn. Have fun babysitting!

it's gorgeous!! I hear you about air conditioning being a totally valid reason for knits like this in the summer. Great colour!

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?
