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.

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...
