yeay!

so my sockpal got her socks today. i have a new respect for the ups store i just mailed those puppie sout monday morning. wow!

my sockpal was patty. in connecticut. and she told me in an email this morning that she loves the socks. score! and now i can tell you all that when the exchange first started i had about 4 inches done on the socks and there was an update on the blue blog saying what sock people were kitting, and i almost died. because the photo patty had posted for the socks she was going to make for her pal were almost the same socks i was making. similar colors and pattern. too funny huh. i went ahead and made them though cause well...you knit what you like right? anyway. i just had to share. it has been a ton of fun knitting for patty and waiting for her to receive the package. its kinda sad its all over now :(

except i haven't seen my socks yet so i'm still excited about that :)

oh and believe it or not with all i have to get done before i leave for italy and with graduation and all, i offered to be a sock savior. yes i am insane! we shall see if i am picked. if not i have some gorgeous mountain colors that i'll just have to keep for myself :)

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...

so much to do!

with only a few days to relax. a trip to the beach turns into a blur of "i just want to sit here" mixed with "but we have to do this too" so several days worth of photos divided into day parts. cause really it is all running together :) think sandra bullock from that movie premonition where the days are out of order...but nobody's gonna die. sunrise: over the ocean. after waking up early not feeling well from a late night out with the family. i took one for the team ad finished the wine...don't do that. not good. i ran the 2 blocks to the boardwalk and over the dunes to the water to get these couple of shots. seagulls and beachcombers are your only company when it's this early! i've never seen so many mussel shells when it wasn't after dinner. midday: on the boardwalk. after the beach you go to the boardwalk to grab lunch at mack and mancos. apparently the best pizza ever. i'm not convinced. but heck i don't really get the wa...
