hello

so i'm madly knitting on my mom's hooded pullover i don't know why...she can't wear it until fall anyway...and i'm avoiding dave's socks for now. i'm not really sure why but i am happy to report that the in progress sock fits. (he tried them on with his eyes closed...he wants to be surprised) i have yet to take photos of my estes yarn. or my germany yarn. but i am stil working on posting trip photos on the trip blog. i apologize for my tardiness, my efforts were put on hold last week. qwest sucks. our internet was out for most of the week. if yours was out too. make sure to record the days and times call and holler at the m and they will refund the missed time. trust me it adds up! in other news i am attempting to find work. i'm signing up with temp agencies. realizing i should have pursued a different degree cause what i'd like to do now i'll have to study a lot to get into. and wishing i had about 10 more brains to deal with all the thinking about findinga job that i've been doing.
i will have a surprise for a friend in a couple of days. super secret crafting going on here in my down time. don't worry. i'll post photos.
well i think i'll pop on the headphones, listen to a little phillip pullman story time and knit on my log cabin house socks from handknit holidays!!!

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...
