vanity takes a back seat...

for the sake of my sanity. dave's been after me for weeks to go to the doctor. see i have been getting these terrible headaches. every afternoon. i do homework in the afternoon, i just figured i was allergic. then i thought about it. i get headaches when i knit too. really bad one last night while i was working on the socks on size zeroes...so i dug out my reading glasses tonight, i've knit 2 pattern repeats and amazing thing, no headache. i guess the glasses are here to stay i could get away without them before :( oh well. i guess i'm getting old. good thing is the glasses match the yarn :)

Those colors look great- your sock pal is so lucky to be receiving custom dyed socks!

And hey, you can hang out with old fogey me- although I think we're the same age, or at least close, right?

and we're not old....we're only ...23...
ok i'm crossing my fingers behind my back but its only a little lie.

and my frined amy's birthday was yesterday and one of the guys told her happy 23 (and she's not) and we're the same age, so i'm sticking with that. ;)

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...
