pair # 2

so i received these in the mail from LEE aka the dancing crow. all the way from massachusetts. lemme see here they arrived on the 26th. that would have been tuesday. yeah thats right :)

and these are going to david aka uzziel tonight. i'm headed over to the post office now. whew.

once again the pattern is the sock of doom fr sockwars.
this time the yarn is elsabeth lavold silky wool. lee's choise. i'm happy for the opportunity to knit with it again. they are two tone cause lee thought there might not have been enought to knit 'em solid an di think she may have been right.
time on needles i have no idea. i got 'em off the waste yarn and onto needles alsmosyt as soon as i got 'em on tuesday and knit when i had time. too many long shifts at starbucks. ok. i'm tired. but i refuse to have any more coffee. no more. you can't make me !!!
changes: i knit the foot at a tighter gauge than was intended by the pattern. i think it will make a sungger fitting sock and the yarn just knit up too loosey goosey at 22spi. just my opinion and since i knit the italy cardi in silky wool i know how the fabric grows. so anyhoo. i think i'm gonna go and head to the post office. happy knitting all.
p.s. looks like they arrived all right :)

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...
