disaster averted.

so, i'm one ball in on each of the sleeves for rogue and i realized, that 3 balls per sleeve really wasn't gonna cut it. no friggin way so i'm at my favorite lys knitting (cause why sit home and knit when you can spend the day sitting at a sotre you don't work at helping customers ;) , and sue, angel that she is decides to call around to stores and see if anybody has the yarn. (mind you she works at the store i'm in, they don't carry mission falls though) isn't that sweet? and guess what she finds the same color the same dyelot at another not so favorite lys. and you wanna know the real kicker. they were nice! who knew it was even possible. but i have 3 more balls to finish my sleeves which should be plenty. oh, also a spare ball in a different dyelot that they insisted i take which i won't use but it will give me incentive to go back to get the new colorway i saw of sockotta there. i'm sure its not really new but i never saw it before and i have to say that its my most favorite sock yarn ever!


its that tealy colorered ne right there in the middle. nifty huh? so why not get it right? i think i will when i am done with rogue i'll just take the leftover ball/balls and exchange 'em :) i also want that rainbow one up in the corner there but i haven't seen it anywhere in person yet...

oh, so my socks are done the ones i was working on while i was in texas, did i say that already? sorry if i did. but i don't know where they are and my computer is on life support right now so i'll wait to post photos til later, but they're comfy and they might gove me cankles thanks cyn for making me think of this in the back of my head as soon as i tried 'em on. but i don't care i'll just wear 'em with boots :P

Wow! Phew to you for getting more yarn! I *sooo* need to finish Rogue. Maybe I'll make it a January (or February rather) goal.

Whew! What a big sigh of relief. That's great that Shuttles had the right dyelot after you purchased it in Canada! So crazy! At least you have enough now.

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...
