well i finally "figured out" the eyelets at the bottom of bad penny. what i really did is changed the number of stitches int the repeat to an even number so that the yarn over would occur in the purl row, and changed the order in the chart so that i was always knitting 2 together and then making a yarn over. and wonder of wonders it worked. so its finished i just haven't taken a photo of it yet! i did take a photo while i was working on it though and caught this fishie that was trying to swim away. thanks jenifer these stitch markers are too cute

and for the ladies who came over for knit night last week i finally got cast on for chickami believe it or not ribbing is error free and i even have the correct number of stitches. and no it wasn't the margaritas. i tried again the next day stone cold sober and it still took another 4 tries. i think shirley cursed me! i never used to make stupid mistakes like this. thanks hon. i really appreciate it!

what do you do

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...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
