possibilities...

It's possible that this weekend I'll finish baby blanket #3.

It's possible that I'll buy at least one skein of yarn, possibly more but that depends on who is with me at the time.

It's possible that I'll end up in a Dirndl Skirt dancing on a table swinging beer steins around.

It's possible that if I'm in a dirndl, D will be in lederhosen.

It's guaranteed that there will be no photos of this...

It's Oktoberfest weekend and anything is possible!

Things that are a given:

1. I'll be visiting a new yarn shop over the weekend called Wooly Bully Yarns. I'll give a thorough report as soon as I'm done there!

2. I will be making french toast casserole and monkey bread this weekend.

3. Beer will be consummed. Possibly in large quantities.

4. There will be singing, dancing, dirndls and lederhosen, not necessarily gracing this body but they will be there.

5. I'm anxiously looking forward to my first bratwurst of the weekend... note I said first. I love a


good bratwurst!

I promise we'll have fun.
I promise I'll take an alarming amount of pictures.
I promise that I've already started working on D to get us moving way earlier than we need to, the negotiation is still on-going. It's possible that I've suggested that I would just meet him there later in the day...

it's wrong to laugh at this but i do, every single time. i refer to it as
his private dining.

On a side note, I think Mr. Brown is getting better but then I think he's not. I'm not sure. We had to switch from the soft sided cone to the hard plastic ones. The hard plastic are the ones he's known for getting out of and destroying. So far though after a few tips from Washington Boxer Rescue the cone is still on. Hopefully he'll make good strides over the weekend. His follow up is next Wednesday. If it's not better by then they'll have to do the procedure again and I'll probably have them sew his eye shut for a couple weeks to let it heal...
when he's mad at me he looks away like this till he remembers he's hungry

by the time this is all done, he's going to hate me.
but I feed him so he'll love me again eventually...

Happy Thursday!!

ps. Remember you can also find me on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Ravelry in the America's Knitting Group all under Carmelknits.

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?
