Stitch Count..,

I don't know how many stitches I have on the needles at this point.
I'm sure I could do some simple math and get a general idea, but math is rarely simple for me so we'll scratch that notion.

I could just settle in and count by two's.
That gets tiring after 246 where I start forgetting how two's multiply - that whole math thing...

I can tell you this. On our drive last night it took me a half hour or so to knit across one row in the feather and fan pattern.

normally i would be itching and bitching to be done at this point but I'm so charmed by the border that I just keep knitting and increasing happily knitting each row a half hour at a time.

I also keep forcing photos of the border on everyone. I've started limiting it to one a day but I could easily show you all 45.8 million I've taken.

Don't worry, I won't.

Instead I'll just keep knitting and admiring my clever choice and once a day sharing one delicious fiber photo...

Are you wondering where the one photo a day is posted? It's on my Instagram Feed and Twitter... You can check me out on both!

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?
