bad blogger

i haven't posted i'm sorry.
and now you just have to forgive me for the photo barf that is about to ensue.
just realize that my mind, house, and workspace are in the same state of chaos...

and in no particular order...

no comments from the peanut gallery regarding wonky crooked quilting stitches. dave has already informed me of such.
dave. dog.

this is dave's friend jon. we go to jon's for thanksgiving. this is jon and the hat i knitted for him on turkey day while i was waiting for the others to stop playing video games. i promised the hatwould be finished in time for gathering turkey from the grill. our host was not disappointed. his ears were warm. he was amused.

yarn: double stranded red heart. needles: borrowed clover dpns size 10.5. beggars can't be choosers and bored knitters are definitely beggars. thanks brandy for the loans it was better than watching video gaming i promise :)

we have friends who are preggers. you know this if you've been following along. a few months ago these hats were requested by the daddy to be. mini hat recipient is also the recipient of above dayglo quilt (colors selected by future mom). colors selected by dad for hats. he wants to freak out the grandparents i think

head to toe leads us to hogwarts socks. from round one. my rescue knitter, marker maker, needler, and swap mom were fantastic. thanks guys.

pattern: eyelet spirals, yarn:mama llama bamboo sock, thanks again guys you rock!
next up rocking stuffies fabulous books found at a second hand shop in louisville, colorado

i'm dying to make the elephant

these are from the 70's if i rmember correctly

can't you tell?

i cannot wait to make these guys. but i have to because i'm only 2 more outfits in to the baby clothes

courduroy jumper in the newborn size

and the romper in the medium size from the same pattern

so glad to see others are making these smocks too!

i filed away the colorado thanksgiving trip stash acquirements before i photographed anything. and i'm sorry but i've been swamped. can you tell? the yarn was some manos mohair for a sweater. some meunch bulky for some slippers for sue's shop, some trekking for mom some more socks, some dale from shuttles for overdying and then more socks, some panda cotton from sue's, and i think thats it. if i've forgotton we won't find out til who knows when :(

also recently acquired. the shirt i ordered from ravelry. and the nifty buttons. i love buttons.

and last but certainly not least. mom and auntie found a knittingmachine and ribbing attachment in fantastic condition at a junk sale up in the mountains. cost? $50 with all the required and then some books to figure out how to use the beastie. books. learning courses, patterns gallore. yups thats 3 whole binders and some pamphlets and the regular books too.

the downside. shipping was double.
now how does this thing go???

Sorry I missed you while you were here. I meant to call you, but I recently changed jobs and I can't seem to get my stuff together.

The rompers are really cute! And I like those new eyelet socks too.

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...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
