so i went to mommy knitting the other day...no there isn't anything i need to tell you it was an excuse to see people i hadn't in a while, namely jenifer and amy. good to see you guys. and jenifer had yarn she's been dying to give to amy. it matches her little guy's hangey fabric thing (what are those called anyway?) perfectly. i was supposed to email this, but i can't find your address jenifer :( anyway. it was good to see these two and make a new friend. the wife of one of my previous professor, and terrible person that i am, i can't remember her name. but we all know that i'm bad with names so no offense intended ok?

i worked on the stripey socks that i stared a while ago but had put on hold for the italy cardi. i think i'm a stripe or tow past this now, but i don't have a recent photo. fun to knit not all that interesting, but fun nonetheless!

are you doing the two socks on two circs thing here? i haven't tried that, i'm afraid they would be all tangled up when i threw the socks in my knitting bag in a hurry to get into the office one morning! of course, my sock rut does extend to the fact that i have never even tried the two circs method (or a bottom-up either). i guess i just know it works so i keep knitting them the same ole' way! when do you leave for europe?

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

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid

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
