i'm kinda in a little trouble but its not that bad...

so it started with this suri merino from the bargain bin...

and i had promised to make dave a hat... (yeah i know he thought the last one was too big but its ok. he likes the way my brother's turned out so if i can duplicate the result...anyway.

and i have to make 2 pair of the fiber trends felted ballet slippers...

and the icing on the cake michaels had a secret sale on novelty and i've been eyeing this ticker tape ribbon yarn for a year... so there we have it my no buying yarn promise out the window...but $2.79??? how could i resist?

and in my defense this hat for my nephew (his christmas hat shhhh don't tell) is entirely made of stash yarn. so i've moved 2 balls from stash to leftovers after i finish this so i'm not completely fired...the question is can i finish it? that and the slippers. well just one pair, but both before christmas??? no i'mnot crazy, i'm not talking about the real christmas the one thats a few days after the real christmas. the one that happens at dad's house!

anyway those are my recent additions to the stash, and they won't be stash for long i've got plans for it all!

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...

and a last farewell...before i ripped out sunrise circle i took a parting photo...this sweater was jus tnot meant to be. too many other things wanted to be finished first. soon to come the bad penny 2 that i'm making for my trip to italy!

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...
