Nerves...

The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is only two days away.
Two days I'll be picking up my teammates at 4:30 a.m. and heading to the start line.
6:30 a.m. we'll begin our walk thru downtown Seattle and make our way to the eastside.

I'm getting nervous.
I'm excited also.
I'm excited to spend the weekend with my friends.
Big crowd gatherings make me nervous.
The chaos of them make me nervous.
Once we are on our way I'll be fine.
I'll settle down and have fun, but right now my nerves are making me nauseous.

Day One is the longest day of walking.
Day Two is long but not as long as Day One.
Day Three is the shortest.

I'm getting my gear together.
Hoping I don't forget something important.
Hoping I pack some fun stuff as well.

I found my rain ponchos from the last time I did the walk.
I didn't need them then, I will need them this time. It's supposed to rain all weekend long.

My camera is charged.
My blister kit is packed (this is very important as no matter how tough my feet are and trust me they are tough, I am prone to blistering)

I'm rambling.
I'm thinking about packing some knitting for in camp. But what does one pack to knit for a walk?
Something pink of course.
Something mindless because I'll be mentally exhausted.
I'll have to dig thru the stash and find something... I have some hot pink yarn. I can whip up a cowl maybe.
Who am I kidding, I won't be knitting. Once I settle in the tent I'll pass out.

nerves.
They make me ramble!

Two Days till the 3-Day!
OMG
Happy Wednesday

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?
