blah!

soi everything is ripped back even further now...and i don't even wanna try to fix things anymore! i need something new to knit!

i think i'm going to make the sunrise circle jacket from IK. i have some yarn already...technically its way too much yarn for this sweater but i have no idea what else to make with it. i've been wracking my brain trying to decide what to use it for and haven't come up with anything...so i guess i'd just have a little (600-800) extra yards...damn yarn sales!!! it should get gauge with a nice solid fabric just like i like. not all holey! the yarn is reynold's dover in a jadey green color. i think i have a photo on the old computer i just have to transfer the files...i'll post it. but anyway i'm gonna go swatch and watch the firefly dvds...again. and knit :)

oh wait before i go...i'm not sure what size to make...this isn't something i want to turn out huge so...hell i dunno i'm just so bad about making sweaters too big. should i go down 2 sizes???

edit
my vertical gauge is fewer than the required so i think if i jus tknit the 37" bust size i'll end up with something my size or even larger so i should be ok :) cross your fingers!

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
