update

ok, i have to go to sleep i just had to share a photo of the first pattern repeat. i love this its great :) i'm not doing the purl rows, all knit all the time! i want to make a smoother sock, i think the purl rows would be bumpy. i think it willl be more comfortable this way. and whats the point if you can't wear them???

I love your hand-painted yarn! And the picot edge looks great! Are these the socks for your sockapal000za pal? I am a Knitting Olympian so I am afraid that your socks are sitting staring at me while I knit on my Olympic project but I swear that I am still thinking about knitting them and even still trying to decide what pattern to use for them!

yups this is the first of my sockpalOOza socks. i had so much fun knitting last night but i should have been doing homework. and machining class came way tooo early this morning! no more late night knitting. i'll have to start taking the bus so i can knit! wow i wish i could see your blog to see what you're knitting. i don't mind you're working on that. i have 10 things on needles most of the time so i know how it is to work on other stuff. just have fun and knit. thats the point right? no guilt :)

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...
