tooooooooosday

so tuesday is pint night at the walnut in boulder. and on wednesday's my quantum homework is usually due. so...i did a ton of work today trying to finish homework. an dmy brain melted so further coherence has been ruled out. :) i had lab this morning. and we set up an experiment thats supposed to test experimentally the concept of fourier interference. if you're felling a little confused you're not the only one. i was totally lost but after 4 hours of playing with a laser, and a bunch of lenses, and a slide with a tiny picture of a horse we were able to flip the little picture of the horse onth wall upside down and backwards... isn't that great??? yeah anyway. that was my day. oh and then after 5 hours of homework one of the girls and i went for a beer. :) and now i'm thinking i'll knit. but that was my day! somebody remind me again why i'm studying physics??? oh yeah cause i'm almost done...right...93 days and counting...


SockpalOOOza thoughts
so i've been daydreaming about what i want to knit now that i'm thinking about color you know...and i've been thinking, maybe jaywalker but i'd kinda like to do something different or maybe something in a feather and fan. i like the movement of those you know. but what i've really been thinking is what about an adaptation of the wavy scarf on knitty...ooooooo...that would be neat. i mean it is ribbing right? i bet it would work. hmmmmm. thinking thinking. if you have any great ideas let me know. but i'm sure i'll come up with something fun :)

I finally have your yarn all picked out! From what I see around your blog, I think you will like it. Now to decide on a pattern. . . . Did you decide on a color for your sock pal's socks yet?

i actually haven't decided on a color yet i thought i'd wait til the yarn gets here to decide for sure. and there's always the chance it won't turn out how i like. just have to keep my fingers crossed. eyyyyyyyyyyeee yarn picked out and everything? the suspense is killing me!

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
