…With Ravelry that is. 
But what knitter wouldn’t be?
In progress news I’m well on my way to getting Mr Greenjeans knitted up. I’m almost to where you put the arms on scrap yarn. I’m using Beaverslide Mctaggert Tweed in Wild Myrtle and oh help me sweet baby jesus I’m loving it. First off, I will be honest and admit that my gage with this yarn was way off. 5″ for 18st on US 7. It’s supposed to be 4″ for 18st on US8. I’m still knitting it in the 7′s, but I went down a bust size. I had read on ravelry (LOVE) that to button the sweater you should knit a bust size 3 inches bigger (ok, am I the only one that this bothers? I mean, you give bust sizes so that they will, um, fit the bust. Closed. But maybe that’s just me). So that would have had me knitting the 53″. Now instead I’m doing the 49″ which was my orginal plan.
Yes I have bubbies. I’m not proud either 
If you have never knit with this yarn (as I never have before) you need to order yourself some. It is perfect fall jacket yarn. This is going to withstand the wind and wet like no other. It’s amazingly squishy and it knits up into a lovely fabric. Also, you must thank Brooklyntweed for pointing it out on his website, also feel free to oogle his knits as much as I do.
Am I the only one not doing socks for October? Probably, but you know, socks & me, aren’t the best of pals. California weather isn’t really “sock weather” per say. But I can deffinately appreciate other people’s small footed versions
I’m almost finished with my Clapotis. I love the pattern, but I am super duper sick of my debbie bliss cotton. I’ll be glad when it’s all knitted up. Course I still will have some left over I believe when I’m done with this project. Maybe a bag?
The yarn for Matt’s sweater came yesterday. So I will be swatching that this weekend. OMG the cables! What have I done to myself?! I just have to remember slow & steady right? I have time, it’s not intended as a christmas present.

Dad-zippered beaverslide mctaggert tweed jacket
Pat-Lacy Shawl that has no name that I must buy pattern & yarn for
