randomly on a wednesday morning...

It's just pictures today really... some knitting, some not. I'll have a finished object post tomorrow or the next day...

My Clematis is blooming. I love this plant so much... mostly because it was such a surprise when it creeped onto the deck and then bloomed the first time


this skein has been staring at me from my yarn bowl for months now. It's from Three Irish Girls out of Duluth, MN. The colorway is 'Love Wins' and it was a special limited colorway to raise money for victims and families of the Newtown CT tragedy last December. I'm mentally kicking myself for not ordering more of it at the time....


So I wound it up even though I wasn't done yet with my dk/lightworsted Cream and Sugar....


and then started knitting with it...

and continued knitting with it, smitten with the way the colors pooled on the ribbing and then randomly broke up in the stockinette portion...


but I did get back to Cream and Sugar and started the final ribbing...


then this happened Monday morning at the staff meeting... It was a surprise and I am so honored that I was chosen.

Then this dude got sick again and we went to L for a dose of medicine and while we were there we worked in a pedicure... He's feeling better but now D is down with the flu so they are all at home feeling miserable together...

still knitting...

with everyone home sick yesterday except me, I dragged my new lounder outside after making sure medicine, 7-Up, soup, and oatmeal (Mr. Brown) was distributed... Fixed myself a drink and tipped back for 45 minutes of Vitamin D therapy... it was 80+ on the back deck last night and Gabby and I enjoyed every minute of it.



and being hot, having a flu victim in the house means having Popsicles in the house... the ones with the cheesy jokes that I adore...
my favorite flavor is the orange, i'll take a grape, and cherry can take a hike.


 Happy Wednesday Everyone!

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?
