Oh Black-Friday

I don't know about you but I am NOT a BlackFriday shopper.

Let's be honest, once thanksgiving is over I avoid the malls like they have the plague.

This is where my Amazon Prime account pays for itself and I crack out an amazing amount of knitting.

Are you avoiding the Black Friday shopping too?
Need a fun but maybe a little challenging project to work while nibbling cold stuffing, picking on the turkey, and listening to moans of happy over stuffed family? Well today's pattern is just for you.

It's the last one in the Preamble before Tuesday 12/1 when the 24 Days of knitting officially starts!

One Bourbon by Thea Coleman aka BabyCocktails.
Looks great on men or women.
Such a fun pattern to knit up! Maybe there are some skiing mountain men in your life that would like one of these for Christmas?

Pour yourself some bourbon, get out some worsted weight wool, and hunker down by the fire...

I'll be by the pool.

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?
