why?

because i said so.

there is
absolutely
positively
no reason to get any more...



i'm just not allowed to.
that photo represents the possibility of 39 pair of socks.
and that is not including the undyed mountain there on the bottom right.
gosh that has got to be a good 10 pair of more all by itself.
sigh.
recount.
49 pair of socks.
i have to get to knitting.
so no more yarn for me.
til this is under control.

in a rough clockwise rotation starting in that black section down there. if there is a yarn type repeat we'll just skip it ok?

roll call:

wildfoote, sisu, falk, plymouth alpaca, pro natura, pace, cotton stretch, regia cotton, louet gems, knitpicks paint your own by me, panda cotton, knitpicks essentials, online cotton, xxl, jawoll lang, mega boots stretch, 1824, digit, sockotta, regia 4ply, knitpicks paint your own by jenifer, online wool, and the undyed is treadsoft and kona superwash sport.

whew!
i had to look at a blowup of the photo to figure out all those ( i packed it all away super quick in case dave comes home) and as i'm terrible about losing ball bands... well heck. some of 'em were guesses for real :)

what prompted this you ask? well i went on a yarn crawl with some of the local girls this last weekend and i plumped the stash with some louet gems and some more trekking. and i really shouldn't have.. obviously. and i was feeling a little guilty. and cathi just asked me if i want to pick up some more sockotta (my secret fave yarn) which i sensibly declined. and am dying to cast on for another pair of socks so i was trying to decide what yarn to use and went stash diving...sigh..and here we ended up.

gosh i hope dave doesn't see this!!! ;)

So, which shops did you hit on your yarn crawl???? Inquiring minds need to know (you know, in case I'm missing one.)

The stash looks good! 49 pairs ... that's really not all that much considering ... well, maybe it IS much, but it still looks good!

I don't know that you have to stop buying sock yarn, but I can totally relate. I think I"m at like 30-32 pairs myself right now, but I've been in such a sock mood, it's ridiculous. Picking up and knitting socks like they're out of style, I don't know what's wrong with me, oh well!

Wow. That's quite the stash. You might want to hide it from yours, but I'm showing it to mine. "See honey? I really don't have much sock yarn..." :P Do you ever just... you know... roll in it?

knitting updates

ok, now for a knitting update :) i know thats what you really wanted to see. here are the contents of the sockpalOOOza package that goes out in one week. i am so excited! counterclockwise from lower left: there is a sock tote for her to use the next time she knits a pair of socks, the socks, postits. my favorite way to mark patterns, a card telling her all about her socks, a postcard of longs peak to show where i'm from, a birthday card fror her to share with a knitting friend on a special day, and stitch markers. yeay! i love presents! i can't wait to mail this! and on to current knitting... so a few weeks ago i went down to highlands ranch for the Littleton meetup, i went next door to string to do a yarn exchange. thats like free yarn you know. and picked up 7 balls of this elsabeth lavold sily wool. ooooh. wonderful yarn! i know, there are only 4 in the photo. thats because my italy cardigain is well under way. 2 balls in i just stared the third and i love love love this y...

so much to do!

with only a few days to relax. a trip to the beach turns into a blur of "i just want to sit here" mixed with "but we have to do this too" so several days worth of photos divided into day parts. cause really it is all running together :) think sandra bullock from that movie premonition where the days are out of order...but nobody's gonna die. sunrise: over the ocean. after waking up early not feeling well from a late night out with the family. i took one for the team ad finished the wine...don't do that. not good. i ran the 2 blocks to the boardwalk and over the dunes to the water to get these couple of shots. seagulls and beachcombers are your only company when it's this early! i've never seen so many mussel shells when it wasn't after dinner. midday: on the boardwalk. after the beach you go to the boardwalk to grab lunch at mack and mancos. apparently the best pizza ever. i'm not convinced. but heck i don't really get the wa...
