I love the mittens! And I can totally relate to the sweater woes. This is just your Sockapal000za pal checking in to let you know that your socks have been started and I haven't forgotten about you even though I haven't commented in a while. When are you going to Italy? I was just on a brief vacation but it wasn't nearly as exotic as going to Italy.

Wow, your trip sounds fantastic ... the best vacation I can hope for this year is a trip to Disneyland with a friend to celebrate her birthday. But hey! that's okay, I love Disneyland! It sounds like with all your schoolwork, you deserve to do a bit of relaxing and exploring. I worked on your socks last night ... it's fun to work on them and imagine you opening the package when they come to you. This is the first exchange that I have ever done and I am excited to have you get your socks!

hey don't worry about language with this blog friend ... i am one of the original potty mouth girls especially when i am among my friends! i try hard not to use it on my blog (which you'll see someday) because i work with teenage girls and i have given them the address to it, but when i'm among my peers, watch out! i'm looking forward to the reveal in a big way, and i think only have a little over a month to go!

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
