sock week continues

remember these guys?
i started them forever ago.
shirley got me the yarn for my birthday 2 years ago...



well they'd been crammed in with some other unfinished (possibly indefinitely abandoned) projects in a knitting bag i never use. i found them last week and figured what the hell :)



i've finished the last green stripe now and am working on the ribbing. and see those scissors? you know what that means. there are about a million ends to weave in. you know how i hate finishing. yuck!

i can't wait to go someplace cold to wear them. remember that conversation we had about worsted weight socks and how i couldn't wear them down here? well these too are made from dale of norway's falk. sigh. can we get some snow down here? i'm sure it wouldn't hurt the palm trees :)

Those socks look absolutely awesome - but poor you, all those ends that you'll have to weave in! Then again - it'll be worth it! Great job!

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
