ciao! au revoir! goodbye!

Gosh where do I begin?

I am gonna miss this place so much.

Mountains.

People.

My life as I know it.

Mountains.

Wow.

I am gonna miss my mom so much. I know we fight. It’s not all the time but enough to make us crazy. But we’re close. We run errands together. Curl up and watch movies. Go to the library. Share books. Get up at midnight for snacks without planning. Go to the store 5 times because we forgot something silly. We started crying over silly things all day yesterday. I kept forgetting she wouldn’t be here when the movers came today. Saying things like “we” can pack up the bedding after I ge tup. And “we” will have to unpack those dishes for the movers to see. And then repack them. (No, don’t even get me started on that one) But yeah. I’m gonna miss my mom.

I’m going to miss my Boulder and Denver knitters. I have made so many friends. I know there are knitting groups in Orlando. I’ve already joined 3. but that doesn’t mean its not tugging at me. I’ll still subscribe to the blogs. I’ll still read about your projects (so keep posting) but nothing is gonna compare to curling up on the couch with kiddos and cats to knit the night away. Bye guys I’m gonna miss you.

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

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!
