Somewhere in Kauai

Two inches tall 
Pointy red hat 
Seahawk Sweater
Brown Pants 
Enjoys beer and pool parties
I know I know. I should have posted this a year ago but I kept hoping he would find his way home.
However I have learned that Gnomes can not be trusted.

CAN NOT BE TRUSTED.

I can't blame him. If I could have I would have stayed in Kauai also.
We could have lived the rest of our days quite happily sunning on the beach, drinking Primo beer by the pool, chasing wild chickens and learning how to surf.

I don't know when he made his move and escaped my trusty pocket but I know it happened before we moved on to Poipu in south Kauai.

I know I had him in my bag when we checked out of our Waipouli condo but he never arrived with us at the Plantation in Poipu.

As I mentioned before, he likes beer.

He loved the Seahawks game we took him too before we flew to the islands.

It's possible one of the wild chickens took him I suppose.


He was always trying to catch one.

On the trail to the Indiana Jones Rope Swing

We took him four wheeling and he threw a fit until we took his picture near the pasture where Jurassic Park was filmed.

He loved Anini Beach and Hanalei. Mostly for the big beer the waitress bought him.

He saw the Kilauea Light House and all the wild weird ducks hanging around there.

If you see him whilst touring around Kauai can you send him home.

It kind of hurt my feelings that he didn't want to stay with us...

Every now and then my husband will hear me mumble a curse upstairs about 'that little f#ck%&! is still in Hawaii where I want to be'

I think one hit the bar on the way over to boost his courage

In the meantime some of his friends showed up over the weekend and wanted to know where he was and they insisted I post this message on social media to find their friend.


They keep trying to get into my purse. They say for a nap but I suspect they are trying to get my wallet to buy airplane tickets.


The little gang of Gnomes and myself thank you in advance for your help.

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?
