weekly update

i'm knitting a bit. i'm sweating a lot. it has been unbearably warm here lately. hence the knitting not so much. i just don't like the feel of damp yarn. call me crazy. but there is light at the end of the tunnel. rather there is central air conditioning. or there will be. at the new place. see. since lesely has not found a new job yet. and since th elandlord is selling the current place...she has to move with mom to a new place. which happens to have airconditioning. yeay. the bad news i'm moving up to north denver. i am pretty sure we could spit on the airport from the new place. sigh. i'm gonna miss the boulder snb girls and guys. mental note, knit with them as much as possible before the move. i will however be able to visit the denver knitters more conveniently now. and even better i will be able to comfortably knit, even wool, in the summer. yeay.
cross your fingers i do find a job soon though. if nothing more than for my sanity. but most especially for my yarn budet :)

Good luck with the job search. At least you'll be closer though! Sorry for the move and all.

Oooh oooh oooh, does this mean you'll be living close to me? I know it doesn't have the ambiance of Boulder over here, but things are getting better, and you know you can hoof it to my place any old time for coffee and whatnots.

Well, I'm glad at least your move is bringing you closer to me. Moving sucks - hope it goes well. And drop me a line if you want to knit!

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
