igor update

i finally figured out this pattern.



it just didn't make sense for the first 3 pattern repeats and i had to frog the blue sock 3 times...but we're back on track now and i'm having fun. did i ever mention how much i hate knitting two socks separately? well that is what i did til the pattern made sense. on repeat per sock til i got it straight. then getting both socks onto one set of needles, now that's a nightmare. realizing that i'd been using 2 different sizes of needles for the 2 socks...sigh. but now its ok. i did an extra pattern repeat to lengthen the sock leg. which makes me nervous. top down you can run out of yarn. i just didn't want th ebrain damage of trying to turn over this pattern. its just not worth it sometimes . i'm about to start a heel. top down heel flap. can you believe it. i never do that. anyhoo. socking along :)

knitting updates

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...
