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!

stick a spoon in these and stir!

lots of sugar in my cappuccino please. or maybe iced. it has been a hot day... i guess as long as it is caffeinated it shouldn't really matter right? i think i deserve it! cause these babies are done! the venezia socks. or cappuccino as i call them. i used the pattern charts and just knit these up. for my second attempt at stranded color work i think they turned out great! if i had it to do over again i would probably have used a different pattern for the sole. the stripe is a little too bold for the swishiness of the instep and leg pattern. but hey. you learn. the specifics: pattern: chart from the venezia sweater by Eunny Jang yarn: sock it to me 4 ply in coffee bean and latte needles: knitpicks harmony circs size 1. socks knit as 2 magic loops simultaneously (these needles are actually growing on me) details: magic cast on 16 stitches in coffee bean, increase at edges on every row to 26 then every other row to 36 stitches. move one stitch from sole of sock(35) to inste
