A Photo Round Up.

I know.
I know.
It's been 7 months.
It's been 7 months of ups, downs, growth, regression, and more growth.
Growth is good.
Growth is painful.
It all circles.
I tried so many times to write a post.
I couldn't feel it though.
There was a darkness in me, a lack of joy and inspiration that I just didn't want to let out to my world here.

However in the darkness was light and joy.
I knit.
I spent time with friends.
I keep harassing Phoebe with my new phone and portrait mode. 

So here is a massive photo round up of knitting, summer, fall, knitting, and more knitting.

Super Mable did an awesome job getting all the floaties back to camp safely each day.

He was a noisy rooster at the State Fair


In Minnesota it's all about the cheese curds. In Washington it's all about hot scones and raspberry jam

Cruise on Mason Lake

Early Morning Mason Lake

Phoebe was in a Parade of Rescues. She was really only excited about her swag bag that she got at the end.

Her first night in a hotel for Parade of Rescues. Not too shabby for Phoebe girl.

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?
