24DOK Day 17: Back 2 Back

I'm sticking with my schedule of events for the time being so that means you get back to back Jane Richmond patterns.

Headed to a Christmas party or nine this weekend?
Need to find yet another hostess gift?
Have some extra super bulky yarn?
Say about 270 yards?
Size 17 needles?
Crochet hook?

Did you say yes to all of the above?

Did you give it a 'Hells Yesssss'?

If you did, then all you need is this fantabulous pattern.

Elliston

A super-bulky lacey ribbed fringed scarf.

I know. So many wonderful things wrapped up in one scarf, how can you hold back.

I had the honor, the pleasure, and delight of test knitting this for her before it released last year.

My friend who was the recipient loves it.

I love it.


Again, It's one of those things that I make for someone else and think 'i need one of those for me'

And then like a crazy crow get distracted by more patterns, yarns, notions, life and it falls to the back of the pile.

This scarf knits up crazy fast! It's so warm and squishy, whoever you gift it to, will love it.

Don't be ashamed to wrap that up for yourself and put it under the tree either. I make, buy and wrap a lot of stuff for me that I put under the tree and tell everyone the dogs bought it for me.

I promise, when you knit this scarf and give it a test wrap about your neck you'll be as delighted as I was last year when I took these pictures...

I wonder where that striped sweater is, I love that thing but it seems to have vanished.

Maybe Mr. Brown took it. He's was notorious in his younger days of taking my things and hiding them under his bed.

Rock on Thursday.
Cannon ball us into the weekend!

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?
