knitover

well we had oodles of fun at our knitover last night. thanks again michelle for having us! it was a lot of fun. maybe next time we sit down and knit i'll have something to show for it! (i knit a couple inches of tempting and hated the way it looked so i ripped it all out. i'll have to get smaller needles and try it out again) then, today we all drove up to estes park, co. for their annual woolmarket. there were so many beautiful yarns that even with all the time and money in the world i could never knit it all. i did find one treasure for my mom. some interlacements cotton poly bulky stuff called memphis with a crummy number name. why do they do that? and i'll be using it to make a hooded pockety sweatershirty thing that she found a pattern for. also yesterday i had a bit of a yarn binge at the clearance sale at joann fabrics. lets just say i obtained the yarn to make 6+ sweaters, tops, or tanks. cotton ease and cara mia fun multipurpose summer/spring yarn with yarn photos coming soon. update! my stash can be viewed at the bottom of the page.

knitting updates

ok, now for a knitting update :) i know thats what you really wanted to see. here are the contents of the sockpalOOOza package that goes out in one week. i am so excited! counterclockwise from lower left: there is a sock tote for her to use the next time she knits a pair of socks, the socks, postits. my favorite way to mark patterns, a card telling her all about her socks, a postcard of longs peak to show where i'm from, a birthday card fror her to share with a knitting friend on a special day, and stitch markers. yeay! i love presents! i can't wait to mail this! and on to current knitting... so a few weeks ago i went down to highlands ranch for the Littleton meetup, i went next door to string to do a yarn exchange. thats like free yarn you know. and picked up 7 balls of this elsabeth lavold sily wool. ooooh. wonderful yarn! i know, there are only 4 in the photo. thats because my italy cardigain is well under way. 2 balls in i just stared the third and i love love love this y...

so much to do!

with only a few days to relax. a trip to the beach turns into a blur of "i just want to sit here" mixed with "but we have to do this too" so several days worth of photos divided into day parts. cause really it is all running together :) think sandra bullock from that movie premonition where the days are out of order...but nobody's gonna die. sunrise: over the ocean. after waking up early not feeling well from a late night out with the family. i took one for the team ad finished the wine...don't do that. not good. i ran the 2 blocks to the boardwalk and over the dunes to the water to get these couple of shots. seagulls and beachcombers are your only company when it's this early! i've never seen so many mussel shells when it wasn't after dinner. midday: on the boardwalk. after the beach you go to the boardwalk to grab lunch at mack and mancos. apparently the best pizza ever. i'm not convinced. but heck i don't really get the wa...

colorado trip part 5

after leaving the wool market we headed up to rocky mountain national park . i never get tired of this place and will always go back whenever i am in colorado. after renewing my annual pass we drove along trail ridge road through the park. mom an i have a favorite route back from estes park. it involves driving through r.m.n.p. from east to west along trail ridge road, down through winter park, then east along i-70. this is the long way for sure. but it is just beautiful. as we drove through the park we stopped at all my favorite pull offs for photos. i think i have these same photos over and over. the trees grow. the seasons change but they are about the same every time! there are a few pines in the foreground that look pretty bad. they are just a few of the trees in the park that are affected by the mountain pine beetle infestation that is terrorizing the rocky mountains. as we traversed the park it jut got worse and worse. there are thousands of acres of dead trees....
