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!

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...
