whew

didn't think i was gonna make it, but here i am! fully recovered and returned from texas.

returned: the drive was awful, unberable and incredibly long, but i did not have to drug my neice and nephew, not did i kill them. the flight was ok, crazy lady talked my feverish head off (i'll get there in a sec) on the plane. crazy guy talked it off on the buss, but i got home in one piece. unfortunately the pipes weren't in the same condition when i got here...i'll explain later.

recovered: from hideous texas cold bug. damn they say everything in texas is big well they don't brew small viruses i can tell you that! but i'm better now, no help from the stupid doctor lady who yelled at me for coming in when all i had was a cold and for wasting her time, i figure that a bug that hangs on more than a week, destroys my throat and voice, causes crazy high fevers, and results in my ears killing me, that i might actually be sick. but what do i know...

but all is well, i'm back (body and health) and looking forward to snowboarding with the girls, knitting with the girls, (different girls) and if i don't jynx myself... but i may be, just maybe finishing rogue this week. if i don't i'll never get it done once schol starts. so here goes. marathon knitting here i come. just one panic note...i just turned the cuffs under and i'm about a third of the way through the first 2 of 6 balls of mission falls...i'm knitting both sleeves at once on circs...will i make it? yikes. if not i'll just have to find a similar dyelot...ack. how the heck and i gonna do that the stuff is dissappearing like crazy!!! but a little bird told me that they've been bought otut by another mill thats gonna continue the line woo hooooooo!
k, i'm off to listen to a book on cd and knit my heart out!

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...
