No Title...

I can't think of one to express how this photo makes me feel.
It feels soothing and peaceful.

Especially after the horrors of yesterday!

These colors are so much my mom.

Which makes sense since she bought them to knit something for herself then changed her mind about it...

As you can see I've just barely started the second section of the shawl. I can't wait to add the third color, the color I refer to as 'ninja' because its the same color as my favorite yard squirrel who showed up all stealthy like last fall.

Who names a squirrel ninja?

Me.

He acts very ninja-like. I'll try and grab a pic of him doing something ninja-ie. he got pretty plump over the winter, someone must have put out her Christmas nuts him...

Wow. That's a road I didn't intend to go down...

Anyway,
Happy Wednesday!

p.s.
I'm wearing my Multnomah today and its lovely!

So you finally got to wear your Multnomah? That is super.
Why is it that it is so hard not to be nice to the little creatures. My husband had a slightly malnourished, handicapped squirrel he fed out the window of his upstairs office. Eventually it made the tiny hole in the screen bigger and came through to sit on the desk and be fed. Whose fault was it oh the squirrel's because he made the hole bigger.
I have a silly question for you, some time ago your mom went to a thrift store and found at least a suitcase full of yarn, whatever happened to it? I have been curious ever since you posted about it. Just being nosey.

I have made some stuff from it.
Bump's old Man cardigan was knit with the tweedy cashmere as were his slippers.
I'm pretty much hoarding it though :)

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...

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...

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!
