its official and help!!!

i have a new address. a whole lot of unpacked boxes. a confused dog. and a lot of aching muscles. the move went off without a hitch (well almost). and the internet is up and running. well at least in one room. can't find the friggin router...sigh. of course i couldn't find my monitor til today so that isn't saying much. i found th ein progress socks i was making for shirley but need her to try 'em on before i do too much more. and somebody put my yarn in the top of the closet and then filled the closet with boxes so i can't get to it :(. anyhoo.

i'll be starting a funky scarf as soon as i can find some inspiration. sigh.
i've been enjoying theses fantastic storms and whatnot that roll in over the plains. so i'm thinking lightning or clouds would be neat but i can't think how to knit that. intarsia? i don't think so i only have til october.
and i'd love to make a really long sock for my scarf pal. i think it would be funny.
or a recycled scarf made from strips of interesting fabrics.
or ribbons. i love pretty ribbons.
oh my goodness what am i going to do??? any suggestions would be appreciated.

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...
and a last farewell...before i ripped out sunrise circle i took a parting photo...this sweater was jus tnot meant to be. too many other things wanted to be finished first. soon to come the bad penny 2 that i'm making for my trip to italy!

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...
