here i am again!

ok so i have a couple of updates to share with you. in between packing, having a fairly successful garage sale, and giving up on looking for work until after we move (out by the airport for those who care) i have been knitting a bit in hopes of changing the weather...see it cooled down yesterday. it was bearable even

alas i don't think i can change the weather, but ok so i have a couple of updates to share with you. this way maybe i will be prepared once it gets to be winter again. no its not finished it needs felting and maybe tassels i can't decide. and no it actually does look sillier in person.

see i've been knitting all this wool. the silly hat the everest vest (still in progress no update photos sorry)
and i've made a bunch of clogs lately for friends and family so i decided it was time for my own. not that i will wear them til its cold out but ya know. i'm ready at least!

yes those are toenails

and checkout the bottoms! i'll have felted photos soon, they and the hat are still drying :)

i call these monster slippers. the frou frou yarn around the edges reminds me of the feathers around a dog's toes. and well the colors are not to be found in nature therefore monsters are born. (no this is not a reflection on my mood in the mornings)

and last but not least (yes more cold weather wear) log cabin socks in mission falls wool

they look really goofy off my feet so you get one of those silly foreshortened sock photos for now. the foot looks really short but they fit and feel great!

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

colorado trip part 5

after leaving the wool market we headed up to rocky mountain national park . i never get tired of this place and will always go back whenever i am in colorado. after renewing my annual pass we drove along trail ridge road through the park. mom an i have a favorite route back from estes park. it involves driving through r.m.n.p. from east to west along trail ridge road, down through winter park, then east along i-70. this is the long way for sure. but it is just beautiful. as we drove through the park we stopped at all my favorite pull offs for photos. i think i have these same photos over and over. the trees grow. the seasons change but they are about the same every time! there are a few pines in the foreground that look pretty bad. they are just a few of the trees in the park that are affected by the mountain pine beetle infestation that is terrorizing the rocky mountains. as we traversed the park it jut got worse and worse. there are thousands of acres of dead trees.
