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!

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...
