?@#^%$&*($@!

otherwise known as technical difficulties.

well i was at knitting last night and i was talking to erica and she thought i should blog about all the bad luck we've been having around here lately. and i laughed it off and figured why would anyone want to hear about that...i mean hell its only a dryer right? whats the big deal, so mom and the cousin who is in from out of town can't get dressed on the morning of graduation cause their clothes are soggy. whats the big deal? not to mention i should now be packing for our trip but i could just go to the laundromat, oh, right the car's in the shop...why? well the window is busted, and having had things stolen out of a locked closed window car before i'm only a little squeamish. how did it break well...i mean my car window only jammed on the way to graduation last week. 20,000 people on campus i'm running late due to the dryer, and the car window dies and i have to leave it parked on campus with the window down? fortunately nothing was stolen this time. but anyway. so i've been bussing it to knitting lately. doing something good for the environment. yeay. and somthine else minor happened (can't remember what now) so i figured, hell, thats 3 we're done but no...

the bad luck is back. my ipod is on the blink. for a while it had to be reset often but then it was ok. well not its not. i'm leaving town for 3 weeks on wednesday i've got trains and planes and automobiles that will be nothing but engine noise to me with out it, and it dies. i called that little guy that lives in the phone again. he's grouchy. i might out to let him out for a while may improve his mood. but anyway, i digress. he didn't work his maic and bring the ipod back from the dead. he tells me to mail it in and i'll have it back in 7 days. oops you won't be in town? well we can send it to you on your trip...i don't think so. can't you imagine it bouncing from hotel to hotle as we wander around italy? i'd never see it again.

anyway. long story short i'm tuneless for my trip. on the bright side. the swimsuit i ordered from victorias's secret is here. its been alreted. damn straps were too long and i nearly flashed dave's brother...horrific experience for both of us i'm sure. the dryer repairman was here this morning. in theory i can wash AND dry my clothes now...if it doesn't melt them. might let mom have the first go around on that one. and when (if) my car gets done i can drive to my little heart's content. maybe carpool down to denver knitting tomorrow night at highlands ranch i dunno. just whatever you do don't roll the window down k alex? i just can't take it :)

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
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!
