Buried Projects...


So yesterday afternoon while wading thru my yarn room I stumbled upon yet another unfinished project.

The Churchmouse Easy Fold Poncho click here for pattern info at Churchmouse Yarns. 

Thankfully most of it is done. There is a wee bit of knitting to do but that's the easy part.
The hard part of this project was knitting 60 inches of stockinette.

SIXTY INCHES.

By the time I got done with all 60 of those tedious mind numbing inches I couldn't even stand to look at it anymore.

So away it went.
I would stumble across it again from time to time and think you should really block that and get it done.

I didn't.
Either there was stuff on the dining room table or the guest bed had yarn on it or The Husband wanted to use our bed for sleeping.

Well as I was saying, I stumbled upon it yesterday and thought, the time has come, into the bath you go. 
Phoebe seemed a little bewildered by me tossing something besides myself into the tub, but it's also a full moon and she's being a bit weird.

After a solid 20 minute soak, I got out my blocking pads and stretched it across the guest bed only to discover that I have no idea what bin my knit blockers are in and I didn't have it in my to pull all of them out try and locate. 
the knit blockers are in here somewhere...
Like I said I was 'wading' thru my yarn room. A few months back my mom sent me a box weighing well over 70lbs full of yarn and all those bags are strewn about in my room waiting to be sorted and stored. 
I don't know where they will be stored but they are waiting.

So it's currently layed out, not pinned because I also discovered that I am lacking in T-pins.
It's fine though. I have to do it again after I do the sewing and the picking up the cowl neck collar.


So you know what I'll be doing this weekend once it dries and I can have my way with it.

Sewing it up. I hate sewing up knits.

It'll be worth it. It's the best green that Dream In Color ever did. I love it and I am not a lover of the color green.

Seriously. I know the room is a hot mess and a half. I showed a friend today the picture and she visibly shuddered and the offered to organize it. 

Happy Friday :)

We all have those spots of hot messes. When your friend is done helping you please send her my way.

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 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?
