Harry potter sock swap!

I've decided to join, against better judgement. i've been in a knitting slump and i think this will help me kick it into gear! oh i'm so excited!

and it looks like i'm a ravenclaw too!





Sort Me!




thanks jenifer for posting about the swap :)

here are my questionnaire answers:

1. What Hogwarts house have you been sorted into? Ravenclaw
2. Shoe size? US women's size 9
3. Foot Length? about 10 inches
4. Foot Circumference? 8.5 inches
5. List your three favorite double-point needle brands, including size and length
i don't have a particular favorite brand, i did like knitting with my brittany's once but my clovers are nice too. i guess wood or bamboo would be best. and i would like sock needls in (0's), (1's), or (2's) and i prefer shorter needles.
6. Would you like to try a new brand needle? ok :)
If so, which brand? i have a lot of steel and aluminum dpns already i'd prefer to try something new.
Size? Any is fine - I knit hats and armwarmers as well, so any size will be put to good use!
Length? i prefer shorter dpns the longer ones are too awkward for me
7. If you are a RAVENCLAW, do you prefer the colors in the film or the book? Do you have a strong preference? either color combination is fine with me i do not mind either
8. Are you willing to have an international Hogwarts Sock Pal? of course!!!

Dude, your blog has been jacked for awhile. I've wanted to leave you a message to say I was sad to see you go, glad that you made it to Tampa, but your blog would open to the page, but not show the comment link, nor would it show old posts. I've meant to email you, but I've been busy with work and school, so I didn't have a chance. Anyhow, I hope all is well with you and Dave in Orlando.

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
