bam!

boo!

ok i'm a dork. but you knew that right?
sock pair # 2 on the needles right now are made from the regia bamboo i picked up in rothenburg last summer.
and i love love love this yarn!


sheen.
bright vivid colors.
excellent stitch definition...

see














ok so i got a little carried away with the camera.
get over it.
they're pretty.
i'm loving the pattern.
mock croc socks off knitpicks.
free.
pattern.
what more can you ask for?
and i know alligators and crocodiles are different beasties but i figured
close enough
and it is florida for crissakes :)

oh you want to actually see the socks.
well ok if you insist.



isn't that what your knitting looks like when it has been abandoned for other less interesting things? crumpled.
dejected.
lonely.
does it perk up when it knows you are coming?



mine does.
and no one is going to try and tell me differently!



i just have to draw your attention to that perfect hourglass heel.
i think this one has turned out nicer than any of the others so far.
that makes me happy.
tidy knitting does.
ok i just can't bear it any longer.
i'm going back to knit!

hogwarts sock swap (year 1)

yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...

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...
