Day 9: Three Pet Peeves

Now that I have to list them of course I can't think of any.

I do have them though.

In spades.

So let's do this fast like ripping off a band-aid.

1. People who can't merge on to the freeway.

Please. Use the whole on ramp, get up to speed and merge. Don't slow up as soon as the solid white line ends and try to find an opening. They give you the whole on ramp for a reason. Please use it. Please.

2. Knots in the middle of my skeins of yarn. I had one so bad once I just gave up and threw it out.

3. Christmas decorations that get put out/up/on display before Thanksgiving. I about lost my mind on Halloween when half the Halloween aisle was being transformed to the 'Christmas' aisle. Life moves fast enough without your help retailers.

Bonus:
4. Vanity plates that I can't figure out. If it's so complicated that no one can figure out WTF you're bragging about, you're just wasting your money. To the car with the vanity plate 'krempuf' I would have kept that between me and my partner, not slapped on the bumper of my caddy...

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?
