erm. yeah.

although the furniture is here, my mental house is vacant. i've been on an emotional roller coaster. i'm knitting to stay sane or what passes as such. eventually there will be photographic proof of said knitting. but for now. you will have to take my word for it. the knit projects links go to ravelry...go sign up!

i'll be getting the blog back in working order in the coming weeks. patience. dave still has so fix my computer. in the meantime a couple of updates.


we moved to california in a ridiculously short amount of time (finding a house, a store, packing and driving in 3 weeks)


i've spent a lot of time with the family back in texas. visiting with family, taking care of my dad and saying goodbye.


settling into our new place and my new store. california rocks by the way. it is beautiful here. i can't wait to get back out and hike some more. my new store is great. i love it too. i have the best manager who has been incerdibly understanding with my recent frequent absences. but she's a knitter so of course she's cooler than the average bear :)


and not having cable is the best decision we ever made :) i've been reading so much. i've added a section over to the right so i can catalogue what i'm reading. i just have to figure out a way to rate my reads... hmmm. did i ever mention how much i hate programming. sigh. so far i just have a progress report for each story. i'm thinking a star system. we shall see. the links are to wiki so be warned if you don't like spoilers.


i'm knitting a ton. socks, earbands, hats, and sweaters oh my. now if i could just remember to photograph things before they go out...

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...
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!

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...
