funky scarf swap questionnaire

whew. say that five times fast!

ok, i'm supposed to answer these questions so here goes:

Let’s get the allergy part out of the way. Are you allergic to any fibers?
no i don't have any fiber allergies, but i don't do all so well with cat hair so if you could keep the kitties out of the scarf i would appreciate it :)

Do you prefer any fibers over others?
wow, hmm. do i prefer any kind of fibers? of course, who doesn't? but i'd rather you got creative :) but if you insist on input, i love soft fluffy yarns. interesting textures and colors. otherwise i'm not all that picky. although, fun fur etc is not my favorite.

Thinking back to Scout’s post about what funky means to you, post an image of something that you think is funky!
post a picture huh...hang on a sec. dang i can't find any photos of me when i had blue, purple or popcicle red hair...
and i don't know that anything really strikes me as particularly funky. i just like unusual things. i've perused my photo files and here are some unusual images i came across. all kinds of things inspire me so i guess ifnd something that inspires you and go with it :)


















Would you prefer funky yarn or a funky pattern?
i would prefer my pal to be creative and have fun. how's thst for not answering the question!

What are your favorite colors?

hmm, blues, greens, purples but not necessarily in that order if i had to put them in preference order i think i would switch that around completely.

What is your favorite piece of art?
wha? you want me to pick one. hell. i love sculpture. the old marble statues we saw on the trip were amazing. but that doesn'thelp much in scarf land. i'm also a big fan of rene magritte or m.c. escher. do a google. a single link here would not do either justice.

What colors would you never have up close to your pretty face?
pink. ye,llow.
orange. lime. yeah anything remotely related makes me look ill.

Would you prefer an actual scarf or a cowl?

scarf please :)

When you wear a scarf do you prefer a wider/shorter scarf or a thin/long scarf?

i'm a long scarf girl i like to wind 'em twice around so not too wide or bulky

What is the climate like where you live?

its colorado baby. i have no idea what the weather is gonna do :) but when it does get cold its cold, and when it is hot its hot. and sometimes it abides by those rules for more than five minutes. but the weather can do anything on any particular day. so i guess just just assume i'll wear it to keep from getting frostbite and we'll be safe :)

Would you prefer a functional scarf (to keep you warm) or one just to funk-up your wardrobe?
please see last response

What else would you like your partner to know about you?
i am open to almst anything. if you're worried drop me a line. but i'd prefer you had fun with this

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

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
