Finished Object: Poppy

I started this last Friday night and knew I wanted to get it to Beans by the next hockey game which was last night...

I was embroidering the fave at dinner and she kept looking down the table at me trying to figure out what the heck I was doing.

She's pretty cute and I adore her to pieces.
The doll turned out almost as cute as Beans!

I did have on minor error by the time we met for dinner last night...

I had forgotten to sew the hoohaa shut and all I had on me was pink yarn... So we're somewhat anatomically correct.

I laughed and laughed when I realized my mistake.

Here are the finer points of the project.

Details:
Pattern: Poppy by Ysolda Teague
Yarn: cascade 220 superwash for dress and body. Hair is just some brown I found.
Needles: size 3
I'm so smitten with her I might need to make one for myself!

Love the fact she is accidentally anatomically correct. That is too cute. It looks like she was a hit!

Thanks Linda!! I think it's hilarious that she's anatomically correct! I'll have to make a couple more for my friends kids!

I actually made the penis that holds chapstick for my 2 gay men friends for their birthday. They were delivered in appropriate places and were a hit.

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...

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?
