alpaca!

so my mom, dave, and i went to the alpaca extravaganza in longmont today. and no i'm sorry, i don't have photos. but i did get so see my mom making kissy faces with one of the sweet super soft beasties! of course they all seemed to run away from dave. i don't know why. maybe they thought his baldness was contagious? whatever it was they put their ears back or just ran away :) and guess what. i didn't even buy anything! i looked but didn't find anything i couldn't live without. however, dave showed interest in raising alpacas...i know i should be extatic. but really, i'm just confused!


we went snowboarding at beaver creek yesterday. or i tried to. i wasn't feeling well and ended up sitting out the day. and i have to say, i think i shouldn't knit when i feel bad...i tried to cast on and starrt on my second sockpaloooza sock, i finished about an inch and a half, and the lace pattern came out all crooked so i'll have to rip them out. i just can't give anything to someone that looks this funny! ah well i guess i get to cast on again.

well i'm off to do homework or lie in bed or something i can't decide which :)

oh also dave thought he might have to invest in denim...seeing as he doesn't really own any.

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...
