hallo, i'm back :)

i know i wasn't really gone anywhere. but i certainly wasn't in a knitting kinda mindset. thinking about boys. silly me! what was i thinking! nothing but a distraction. a good distraction as some are easy on the eyes. uh oh here i go again. can you tell i was a bit boy crazy when i was younger? really i've grown out of it! honest.

but i'm knitting again! i promise. i picked up the needles last night when i got home from seeing chocolate and the charlie factory...vodka helps. i reccomend sneaking some in if you haven't seen it, if you have go back. makes for an interesting experience.

but anyway i knitted, and i'm hooked again! i'm trying to finish up my OSW. it should be a matter of hours now...of course i always underestimate these things. but i pulled on one arm and it fits so far, so that's a start. second sleeve and ribbing is all i have to go :) i'm getting excited!

and i have to finish my mom's boatneck sweater. no its not done yet can you believe it one measley sleeve to seam up. geez. its gonna be a night of finishing, and if i'm lucky i'll get to cast on! what for ??? well... my yarn came in for rogue!!! its killing me, i just have to cast on. but i can't cause i really wanna finish the OSW before i start something else!

but about the yarn, the color is gorgeous. and its sooo soft. i really do just have to get out the camera. its been a while, and a few fo's and theres tons photos to catch up on. hmm. maybe that's what i can do today. i'm off to take photos back later :)

oooooo yeay social knitting shirley just called and she's coming over to knit tonight! well she wants me to show her how to crochet but close enough! i can knit. she'll crochet. string will be knotted creatively :)

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...
