FO report and a progress report

ok now a FO report for ya. i started these socks on the plane to cincinnatti (that was our connection to rome) and i finished the first on the plane from munich to atlanta. then i ripped half of it out. worked some at sue's new shop MEW Mew's. redid some of it at SNB boulder. then cast on for the second. and finished up in the car on the way to my mom's friend's garden party. they are a well traveled pair of socks! the yarn is art yarns superwash merino. there is no pattern. just a gauge swatch some quick math. it's knit toe up, hourglass heel. just shy of 3 balls used.


oh and theres a kicker

i used two different toes...one is short row and one is hell i dunno what i did on that first plane ride i was a little dippy. didn't realize it til i tried 'em on they're different but not too bad. funny huh?

ok, next up dave's taly socks a progress shot. i got him to try these on (with his eyes cllosed. he wasn't sure how to do this so i had to try to break his toes putting them on him...never let me try to dress your children. i'm a disaster. they are coming along nicely i've finished that green stripe now and am continuing on with the white. but sheesh i think they are gonna take forever...size zero. what was i thinking???

shirely saw these and hoped that they were not the socks i promised to make for her :)

I love those socks - even with two different toes! If you're like me, you'll remember where you were everytime you put them on - travel memories!

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...
