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 :)

space science and a little silliness {closed}

so i was reading some online news and look what i found! you've got to read this its about pluto . so my question is. what happens to the rhyme that kids use to memorize the order? i mean hello! My Very Ecellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas... just doesn't have the same ring without the pizzas does it? oh well. so i have a proposition . no no silly no tthat kind of proposition. dave would get mad! or at least i hope he would... anyhoo. come up with your own rhyme to help kids memorize the order. the sillier the better, and the winner will get something fabulous from my stash. wow. i've never had a contest before this is kinda fun! i guess i have to figure out a way to pick the winner. hmm. ok all entries that include the beginning letter of all the currently accepted planets and usues them in order will go into a hat. not the actual people who enter. thats a big hat. but all their entries :) and a random draw shall decide ok? enter as many times as you like. and have

stick a spoon in these and stir!

lots of sugar in my cappuccino please. or maybe iced. it has been a hot day... i guess as long as it is caffeinated it shouldn't really matter right? i think i deserve it! cause these babies are done! the venezia socks. or cappuccino as i call them. i used the pattern charts and just knit these up. for my second attempt at stranded color work i think they turned out great! if i had it to do over again i would probably have used a different pattern for the sole. the stripe is a little too bold for the swishiness of the instep and leg pattern. but hey. you learn. the specifics: pattern: chart from the venezia sweater by Eunny Jang yarn: sock it to me 4 ply in coffee bean and latte needles: knitpicks harmony circs size 1. socks knit as 2 magic loops simultaneously (these needles are actually growing on me) details: magic cast on 16 stitches in coffee bean, increase at edges on every row to 26 then every other row to 36 stitches. move one stitch from sole of sock(35) to inste
