Agnes

I cast on a *bulky pullover this weekend.
Easy, top down, size 11 needles.
Already separated the body from the sleeves.

Now I have a debate going on in my head.

The pattern calls for a hidden pocket.
I'm not opposed to the pocket.
I'm also not sure if I want to add the pocket. 
It might be a fun feature.
It might cause me to say some not so lady-like words while I make it.

I know summer is just starting to ramp up here in the PNW but I'm already excited for fall so I can wear my new sweater.

Back to the pocket debate.

What are your thoughts?
Pocket?
No Pocket?

What color should my pocket be? It calls for a contrasting yarn.

Welcome to a Tuesday that feels like a Monday and is also a month end at the office.

Bam.

I need more coffee...

Pockets.


 *Pattern is Agnes by Melissa LaBarre for Quince and Co. Yarn is cascade 128 tweed in charcoal.

Pockets! Maybe in a soft pink or the Silvertips team color?

I love the idea of pockets, and I'm really into Lobster Red, it's a softer lighter not as intense red that wants to be coral but is really red....you asked!!

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?
