randomly on a day that is tuesday but feels like a monday...

 I did some corner cleaning yesterday and found these baby socks that I started while we were sailing in Maine... seeing as how the baby is due on Saturday I need to get cracking on the second one and pop that bad boy in the mail. They live in Colorado so this baby is going to need some warm wooly socks!
Aren't they adorable? They obviously got tossed aside during the unpacking phase of that trip and the repacking for a camping trip.

 They are seriously the tiniest stitches I've ever knit. I'm smitten with them...

Below is the begining of a baby blanket for my friend and 3Day walking and tent partner Alyssa. Her and her husband are expecting baby boy number 2 and she's in love with chevron striping so I am doing the Walt Painted Chevron Baby Blanket... more about that in a later post but for now here is a sneak peek...


 I had to buy another trunk size tote for the stash and could probably use two more. This is the closet in my guest room. Top two totes are just fingering weight sock yarn. It's packed in there like sardines...
In the photo below is all the yarn scattered about the living room that needs a home. including the Nordstroms shopping bag. That has a load of stuff in it as well...

 Speaking of guest room, it's open for business. I need to get my artwork up on the wall but the bed is fresh and comfy... fair warnings to any knitting friends who come to stay.
You will be subjected to a strip search before departure.
Just putting that out there.
 These are baby socks.
These are specifically Beans new socks, or will be when I finish the second one but I have a more pressing issue with the socks above. Yarn is Knit Picks Felici in Fingering weight Sweetheart colorway and Stroll Glimmer for the toe. We tried them on her. If you don't think baby socks on their own are swoon worthy wait till you see them on a chubby baby foot.

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?
