sockpalOOOza update

so i stopped by the stitchin den the other day to say hi to sue, and for one found out that they are closing their doors to move to estes. crummy huh? i have to find a new yarn shop to hang out at. and sue has to find a new job. lame. i also found this reinforcing yarn, could i have dyed a better match? i don't think so!!!

i also splurged a little. i picked up a dale pattern book, and the winter '03 IK. i've been eyeing one of the sweater patterns in it for a while. naughty naughty. i don't have time for more patterns...
anyway. i was just going to start on the heel, when i decided to try on the sock to see how it was coming along, see it looked a little small...but i wasn't sure, i've been warned several times about cankles...

and it was too small it nearly ripped when i tried to pull it past my heel. so i had to rip back to the ound of decreases (about halfway back...) to here, can you believe it? all that beautiful progress. ripped back to here. i did this at the at the littleton knitting meetup at the tattered cover friday night (i should have been studying for my quantum exam. shhh)

and have since reknit it back to where i was and then some, i'm halfway done with the heel flap

but i can't work on it any more until i study. i'm afraid this test is going to kick my ass...see the professor is a bit of a hard-ass. we have to memorize everything! ack scary. We've gotten a sheet of formulas in the past. but no more :( we don't have a textbook, we have like 7. we're supposed to stare at them until it all makes sense ... i don't even have all the books...

cross your fingers for me ok? it's on monday night.

hogwarts sock swap (year 1)

yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...
