knitalong

so i've decided to join the sunrise circle knitalong. i know i know...do i really have time for this? but i've been dying for a new project. and i love this color its great isn't it? check it out i was so excited to start something new that i knit a whole ball last night. i knit the hem. 10 more rows and hemmed it right up! i decided i'd prefer a picot edge. i thought it would be fun to have it running clear around the collar and that button band you know?

but look at this...i have never had yarn do this to me! its not even a handpaint! grrr. since it's in balls instead of hanks i'll have to wait for the finished product to give it a bath! oh well...i'll just look like i have a disease...maybe i can freak out the ocd germophobe in my quantum class :)

oh and get this. my class is cancled today so i'm gonna knit all day long! wooo hooo!

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
