i'm an idiot!

so i was trying to take a photo of the hooded sweater that i've been making for my mom...but someone wanted to see what the camera thingy was all about...i've only had it 3 years oh well...
for those of you who don't know this is neige

anyway heres the latest photo of the sweater i've been ignoring it. rather i've been hiding from it.

see i thought of this great idea. i wouldn't make it in pieces and seam later i would just knit the whole thing up in the round super easy right? well just after the pocket on the front i was supposed to start on the button placket for the front...do you see a button placket??? d'oh. and another thing, see, its supposed a drop sleeve sweater...and i never left a hole for the arms...do you see where i'm going with this? i'm gonna have to rip out like 4 inches of this i'm such an idiot!!! so i haven't worked on it lately i've been working on these instead

i wanted to take some progress sphotos but i've been knitting at 2 am lately and just got around to taking a photo. hopefully shirley will forgive me for trying them on. i was planning to make her felted ballet slippers for christmas, but i never got around to it, then school started ya know. anyway. she went skiing with dave and i a few weeks ago and she found a pair of my brown sheep mittens in the car and threatened to keep them. so i decided she would like mittens better. and i've been wanting to make a pair of the hobo mitten/gloves so i figured here's my chance. this photo was taken just after the fingers were finished. i've just picked up stitches across the back of the hand to make the mitten top. i'm working round and round on that and will post a completed photo of lefty soon :)

The glove is looking great! Shirley is so lucky. So what's up with you and Dave? Oh and thanks for the offer of help. I got the button stuff figured out, they were just too big and once I took the width down, they worked just fine on the page.

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...
