cast on

so i cast on for my mom's hooded sweater last friday and didn't get very far on it at the knit together. but it's coming right along. the pattern directions tell you to knit the pocket separately and sew it on, and you know my aversion to seaming so i just did it like the instructions for rogue tell you to just kit the pocket back and forth then pick up the stitches across the back to continue the body and its working just fine. i'm also knitting this in the round as opposed to knitting the front and back flat and seaming. like i said. major phobia. just hate those silly seams. anyway i'll keep you posted...but isn't this the most beautiful yarn? i picked it up at the estes park woolmarket last summer. it's interlacements memphis #112. cotton with a polyester binding thread wrapped around it that's rainbow varigated. nifty huh? anyway. i'm off to start studying. i figure 2 hours of knitting for the night is good enough whadda ya think? besides my lab class looks like its gonna be pretty neat. we get to do all kinds of fun stuff this term. we're building a projecting microscope next week. and later in the term we get to use a scanning tunneling microscope :) i know i'm a dork. i'll let you know how the other classes turn out haven't been to them yet.


anyway i'm sure you're thrilled to read about my classes. you'll be happy to know i'll be finishing this term last 9 hours and i'm freeeeeeeee woo hoo. then i jus thave to find a job, an apartment and grow up :( damn and i escaped for so long. anyway.

almost forgot i also cast on for ahat for dave. he swears its the only knitted object he could imaginge wearing so here goes. i hope i can do it...might get complicated ya know...1x1 ribbing and all :P i'll post a photo when its done. hope everybody has a fantastic wednesday tomorrow. k, i admit it i've had too many gummi bears, i'm gonna go now.

yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...
