finished socks

ok so i know i dropped off the planet ofr a little while.
but here is evidence that it was time well spent :)



these are for my mom. that's why they may look a little big. she has bigger feet than me.
whew.
dodged that bullet.
gotta love genetics eh?
i mean i have big feet. i'm not gonna lie.
but hers are bigger ;)
i wanted to make them for myself.
i love that heathery oatmeal color but do i really need worsted weight wool socks?
in florida?
no.
happy thanksgiving mom :)

they were a fun knit. and very quick.
and check out my very first eye of partridge heel



not bad if i do say so myself.
they were knit toe up on addi size one circs.
the yarn is dale falk.
3 balls.
i used all but a yard i think.
and the cable is adapted from one of the ones in the vogue cables book.
sort of vauge, i know.
and i made notes.
but have misplaced my notebook temporarily.
lucky i'm not planning to start any new socks eh?



i've been fascinated lately by cables that disappear into stockinette.
so there you go.
disappearing cable.

i've got a couple or 3 more pair of socks on the needles.
i'll share soon i swear i just have to take photos.
hmmm.
no work tomorrow.

hmmm...
i see progress shots in your future.
yes i do.

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

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!
