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...
i see progress shots in your future.

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

so, i've been working on bad penny , yea i know easy project i should be done. but i'm confused...as usual. There's this cute little eyelet pattern at the bottom, and i can't figure out is is supposed to be done in ribbing too? and if that's the case, why the heck didn't she say so??? that and you're supposed to increase after the ribbing...doesn't that mess up the ribbing, and isn't that an issue if the chart is worked in ribbing? argh! anyone who has ideas please let me know. thanks. i'd lie to finish this top. not that i can wear it anytime soon its sooo friggin hot. and i love the yarn (tlc cara mia) but it's part angora and i think i would die of heat stroke! on another note, i just finished grading the first set of assignments for this black holes class i am grading for...wow that's redundant. and omg. how bad can some people's handwriting be? geez. am i the only one who took penmanship in elementary school? i mean if yo
