Here knitty, knitty!

It wasn't just me

Blogger says they are working on a fix for broken layouts caused by the new image upload tool. I guess everybody wrote them that their blog was broken. They have a little workaround right now, but I still don't like change, so I am not going to use it, fix or no.

I started my felting project!

I started the felted bag project that my Secret Pal gave me. I haven't actially gotten much done, just casting on. But that's a start, right? I actually am working late tonight so I can maybe take off a little early tomorrow afternoon. My plan is to get to the beach and do a little knitting, maybe do a little walking, and then watch the sunset. Then of course I will be getting up Saturday morning for a repeat of that. Doesn't that sound fun?

Actually, if anyone is going to be at Moran Lake Beach in Santa Cruz over the weekend, let me know. Maybe we can do a little stitch 'n beach?

Oh, I forgot...

On the train home tonight there was a gal knitting something and she had the most unusual technique I have ever seen. Another lady on the train and I were both mesmerized and spent most of the trip watching her surreptitiously and speculating as to what exactly you call what she was doing. It was a really crowded train or I'd have just gotten up asked her directly. I can't even describe it, but it was kinda like she was crocheting, with both hands, with knitting needles. It wasn't a freaky stitch pattern though, just plain old garter stitch.

you should see this thing!

Ok, this blister on my thumb is getting bigger and bigger. It doesn't hurt anymore, though. And neither do the rest of my burns, so I am going to be knitting up a storm again, starting tomorrow. Yeah! I can't decide what to do though- do I keep cranking on Gazella, or do I start on my felted bag project from my secret pal? Maybe I will spend some time on both.

Is anyone else hooked on Dancing With The Stars besides me? I just love that show!

I broke my blog!

Yesterday's post somehow gimped up my blog. The stuff in the sidebar now appears at the bottom of the page! But if you go look at each one of the recent posts you see that only yesterday's post threw the sidebar off. I have no idea what that is about, and I can only hope that it will fix itself when the magic number of new posts has been reached. I suspect that some freaky deaky deal happened when I tried to use that new picture posting button Blogger's got on here now. I don't like that tool (mostly because I hate change) so I deleted the code it inserted and went back to the old picture posting method (now called the File Upload Button or something technical like that). But it broke my pretty blog, and I can't figure out how to frog it!

And on that note, I am really going to get up and go to bed.

Oww

The burn on my thumb is blistering. It looks like it is going to be really ugly before it's all over. I can see myself wearing bandaids on my thumb for the next two weeks or so. The one on my ring finger is practically gone, and the one on my middle finger is feeling slightly better, but it is still pretty painful. At least it's not blooming like the one on my thumb.

I tried to knit, but my middle finger gave me the finger everytime I tried to actually use it. grrr.

Oh well. Once it is better I will be back in business. In the mean time, I am going to be able to catch up on some reading. I got this morbidly fascinating book on what happens to your body after you die, and I was reading it like it's going out of style before my camping trip. It was too big to pack (it's about 800 pages) so I left it home. It's really cool- this doctor wrote it, and it's basically the list of questions you always wanted to know but were either afraid to ask or didn't know who to ask. There aren't any pictures, except for the occasional historical cartoon. It's just stuff like "What kind of make up do they use on dead people?" "What does a funeral director do?" "How does cremation work?" "How do they make sure people never get buried alive?" "what's the difference between a coroner and a medical examiner?" There aren't actually any lurid or particularly disturbing or graphic facts in there. It's pretty much written like a high school biology text book in that regard, except maybe not as technical.

If you're thinking I am a total wierdo and that I searched out that sort of book intentionally, I'll set your mind at ease. I was actually looking for some reading material for the beach and it was on the sale table at Barnes and Noble for a mere $5.95. I thought it was a mystery when I picked it up(the Title is Death to Dust and there is an artsy skull on the bright red cover). It's literally a list of a gajillion questions, and you can just flip though the book and read some here and read some there. I was hooked after the first 6 or 7 questions.

And on that note, I am going to bed. g'night ya'll!

Pictures!

I've got some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Here's my brother Tim, my brother Cory's girlfriend Erin, and me. Don't we
look cool and happy? You can see the tent that Tim and I stayed in in the background. My mom and dad brought the astro-turf to act as the campsite
living room rug.



Tim and Erin again. This is what high heat and high humidity looks like.
Note the camoflage can hugger. It is used to hide alcoholic beverages from
the park security folks.




And here's Graceland. Tim and I were tentmates. You should see how posh
the interior is. That extension cord runs to the RV hookups on our campsite,
and it powers two fans that Tim brought and set up in the tent to try to
cool things down a tad.



Here are a couple of nice views just down the road about a half mile or so.





And here's the loot from my Secret Pal! The yarn is the softest Cascade peruvian wool, and I just love it. The little sheep is a tape measure- you pull it's tail and out comes the tape. It almost sounds like a sheep baah-ing when it comes out too, although my roommate tells me that I am imagining that. And there's a pattern for a felted bag to make with the Cascade, and there's a little tin of the yummiest smelling hand balm. Thanks Secret Pal- you are soooo swell!



I was hoping to start on the felted bag tonight, but I burnt the crap out of my thumb, middle finger, and ring finger on my right hand while cooking a pork chop for dinner. Nothing that warranted a trip to the ER, but it hurt like a mother scratcher (a lovely Arkansas term that I hope you will all start using on a daily basis). I am reduced to typing with just my index finger on that side, and it sure slows things down. Since I can't figure out how to knit with just my index finger it will probably be tomorrow or the next day before I can knit anything at all.

Secret Pal Package!

I just got my first SP5 package! It was waiting for me when I got home,
like the best sort of welcome home treat. I actually didn't know it had
come till I was checking my emails and found one from my Secret Pal wanting
to know if I had gotten the package yet. Well, I just jumped up, ran to the
front door, and there it was, just waiting for me! I haven't unpacked yet,
so I don't have my camera out to take a pic yet. I will definitely do that
tomorrow (I am too pooped to deal with the luggage thing tonight) so you can
see all my lovely loot. A felting project, some yummy hand balm, and the
cutest little measuring tape that looks like a sheep!

I am so excited, I can hardly wait to start working on the felting project.
I've never felted anything before, except for an accident involving a
sweater when I was about 22 or 23. To say I failed to understand the
nuances of proper laundering would be an understatement. Actually, I
probably would have ignored the rules even had I been aware of them. I
didn't have my own washer and dryer, and due to the fact that I was working
in the mall I didn't have just a whole lot of cash to squander on things
like a trip to the laudromat. I preferred to spend my hard-earned $7/ an
hour on higher priority items like cover charges to get in bars, adult
beverages, and Marlboro Lights, so I used the top rack of my dishwasher to
get my clothes clean. Sometimes I used too much detergent, and my clothes
didn't rinse clean, necessitating a hand rinse in the sink. That hand rinse
was where my I converted my cute little off-white acrylic/wool blend
cardigan from Lerner's or somewhere into a garment that would never be worn
again. Boy, I can still remember that it like it was yesterday, even though
it was 15 years ago....

And now I am going to go sleep in my own bed, with no heat, skeeters, or
dirt. Yeah for me! And Yeah for my Secret Pal who totally ROCKS!

There's no place like home

I am home from the camp out. This afternoon I was melting getting from the
car to door at the airport in Arkansas. When I got home to San Jose, it was
so cold outside that I waited for my ride inside the airport, and had to put
on a coat when I was out watering my plants.

I got a bunch o' knitting done on the plane- I'm over half-way through with
the back of Gazella. This yarn is fabulous, and the pattern is great- just
the right mix of mindless knitting interspersed with the occasional increase
or decrease. It's quite fun.

I am so glad to be home!

It is hot and dirty

I am camping. In a tent. It is 101 degrees and 87% humidity.
Literally. I am not a happy camper.

Tomato time!

I harvested my first tomato of the year this week. It's the earliest I
have ever had one ripe enough to pick. Usually it is the second week in
July. I even started my tomatoes late this year, so I am doubly
suprised. Maybe it is the miracle-gro time release food. Until this
year I used water soluble miracle gro every time I watered. Well,
whatever it is, it is working. And the tomato was yummy!

I am about to get on a plane to go tent camping in Arkansas with my
family. It is about 111 degrees and 130% humidity there. I can hardly
wait. At least I will have plenty of time to knit on my 18 hours of
travel time to get there and back. I suspect it will be too hot to do
anything but drink beer while I am there.

My solar pump is here!

My solar pump is here. I don't have a watergarden figured out yet, so I just spent my lunch setting it up in a mixing bowl on the patio. This thing is tiny, but powerful. The pump itself is about 1.5" by 2.3" and shoots water about 14 or 15 inches high. The solar panel and battery are hidden in a fake rock and it's little too, about the size of a head of lettuce.



In knitting news, I frogged the whole dress back to nothing. It looked great till I held it up to myself- it was a little too peekaboo for my own personal comfort level to wear it out of the house. The size 11 needles left just a touch too much space between stitches, and since it is a loosey goosey-kind of fabric anyway we're not talking just visble panty lines here, we're talking visible panties. I am going to re-work it on size 10.5 and see how that goes. I think it will be just right, based on the swatch I worked up. If not, no big deal, I'll rip it out and start again with a 10. This is really a fast knitting yarn. And now that I am going with the 10.5 or smaller, I can launch this on my Inox Express circulars and knit at rocket speed. Watch out for the sonic boom, girls!

Oh, I just had some really exciting news about a work project. I won't bore you with the details, but I'm jumping for joy, and I just had to tell the world how happy I am. I hope everyone's day is as good as mine, and here's a big shout out to my Secret Pal who left me a comment yesterday!

I am tired

I just did a big hike and then loaded a bunch of lawn furiture in a
truck for a girlfriend who's moving. I am very very tired. And know
what else? It is 9:08 pm and still daylight. And it is not even the
longest day of the year!

Gazella update

I went to SnB today, and got a serious amount of work done on Gazella. I'm almost finished with my second ball of yarn! Here's what I have so far:



There's a little spot that looks like a serious mistake in the left side of the fabric, but it's actualy just a loosely woven end when I started my second ball. It'll get fixed at the end. It looks a lot more scary on screen than in reality- when I saw it on the computer I had to jump up and go see what the heck that was!

This is going to be one little dress- that's the section that goes over my bottom. It does have a lot of stretch in it, but boy oh boy, I am thinking that the fringe better be really long or I will not be able to sit down in this thing...

Either I am having a really bad allergy attack or I am getting sick. Either way, my head is congested and my throat is sore. Yuck.

oh I forgot to tell you

Batman Begins was great. IMAX showing, not so great. The screen was waaaaay too big. Imagine going to a drive-in theater and watching the movie from about 10 feet back. That's exactly what you have with the IMAX. You couldn't see the whole screen without turning your head in Exorcist-type contortions, so it was impossible to follow the action from side of the screen to the other. I couldn't turn my head that fast, and I couldn't figure out where I needed to be looking. I got motion sick, I got a headache, and Betty (the girlfriend I went with) and I both had to spend some significant parts of the movie with eyes closed to rest eyes, neck, and inner ear.

Since the movie wasn't shot with IMAX cameras, you don't get the true IMAX experience, and I think that if the movie was choreographed (or whatever you call it) with an IMAX screen in mind it would have been better for the IMAX screen. There was a preview of coming IMAX attractions before the movie started and you could really tell the diffference between IMAX and regular movies. The sound system was really good though.

Key points:

1) Batman Begins was great. I will see it again. Everyone keeps saying it is the best Batman movie so far and they are right. It is nothing like the other batman movies. It's more like Mission Impossible, only dark. Very very dark.

2) I will not see it at the imax theater. It was too much like being on a roller coaster for 2.5 hours.

3) I will not be seeing Willie Wonka or any other non-IMAX movie at the IMAX theater, as I had previously thought.

Messy birds

I've put a few bird feeders out in my yard, and the birds have been visiting them and making me very happy. However, the birds are enjoying one of them a little too much. I went outside to drink my coffee and do a little knitting in my usual spot and I swear it looks like it rained sunflower seed shells for 40 days and 40 nights. I had to clean up the place before I could sit down. It's so much that I can't believe it all came out of my feeder, and that someone didn't take a big ol' fan and dump sunflower seed shells in front of it so it would get all over the furniture and the patio!

Well, anyway, I love the birds, and I want to keep them coming around, but I also have to have a clean place to sit. The simple solution is to relocate the feeder about 4 feet away. Birds still get fed, I still get to sit without the squalor, and everyone ends up happy.

In case you are interested where I sit and knit and drink coffee outside everyday, here's the spot.



The red and green things are bocce balls. We have a great spot to play bocce on the side of the house. Bocce is the perfect outdoor sport. You don't have to have any skills and you don't have to put down your drink/ popsicle/ hamburger to play. If you have never played, imagine something somewhere between croquet and bowling. Fun for folks of all ages!

I've been working on getting all these plants that I brought with me from where I used to live transplanted in the yard, and new plants potted up for sitting on my the patio, so it's not exactly what I want it to look like just yet. The yard project is huge though, so I am glad that I at least some someplace reasonably neat and tidy to enjoy the outdoors till the whole yard is done ([probably a couple more months). Here's what this very spot looked like a month ago:



It's a definite change for the better, but I still can't wait till it is done.

I ordered a solar powered pump this week, one that will store extra power so it can run at night and on cloudy days. I am going to build a water garden and put goldfish and plants in it. I have never had a water garden before, so it will be very fun to figure it all out. Once I understand how it works I may put some koi in the garden too. I didn't want to start out with $10 fish right away though, since I didn't want to kill them due to inexperience the first week I had them. I don't want to kill the gold fish either, but the water garden stuff I've read says goldfish are easier to work with and are hardier. Not to mention they are only $.50, so if one does get eaten by a stray cat or I put in a plant that I didn't know was toxic I won't have a huge financial loss on my hands. Just the the heartbreak of a dead pet.

I am also thinking of putting in an aviary, and keeping finches in it. However, several neighbors keep chickens, so I was kind of thinking that maybe I could put in a hen house instead. It's not like anyone will complain about the noise (except me, and I wouldn't get a rooster, just a couple of hens). Either way, that is a little ways down the road, maybe mid-summer time frame. I need to figure out how much space, care, and feeding are involved with pet finches and pet chickens. There is a pet chicken club in Santa Cruz (if you have ever been to Santa Cruz, you are probably not suprised by the fact that they have a pet chicken club), and I may go to a couple of meetings to get some more info.

Ok, enough of idle chit chat. Gazella is waiting!

Batman

I am in line waiting to get in to see Batman at the Imax theater.
Woohoo. I worked on gazella all afternoon, and even though I frogged it
back to nothing twice due to struggles with keeping even tension in the
yarn, I am actually done with an entire ball of yarn. Yeah!

Trial Separation

Kyoto and I are going to spend some time apart. We are getting on each other's nerves, so to reduce the chances of domestic violence, we decided to each do our own thing for a while. I've stashed her in a box in the top of my closet, and someday we will kiss and make up.

Now that I have no nagging sweater telling me I am a sloppy and slow knitter, I've got a lot of time to fill. I stopped at Commuknity, the new yarn shop near the train station on the way home from work tonight. I decided to make Gazella from the Rowan Linen Print Collection. Actually, I wanted to make this other really cool cardigan in the spring/summer Rowan magazine, but I remembered to check the guage before I started looking for yarn. It was well into the "many many many stitches/ inch" category so I canned it. Gazella uses big needles and a fairly chunky yarn, and she's damn sexy.

Here's the front:



Here's the back:



And here's the yarn:



The flash made the yarn look a little garish- it's actually a very muted coral/red/mauve thing. It's going to look really good with a tan. I have a whole weekend of nothing but beaching and knitting ahead of me. With any luck I will get a good deal of the way through this project this weekend!

In other interesting news, today I discovered I like cream in my coffee. I always drink it black, but I like lattes and I was feeling adventurous so I gave it a whirl. It was good. I still don't like my coffee sweetened with sugar or Sweet n' Lo, but I do like the cream. Not enough to make it a daily thing, but it is a good thing to know.

And now I am off to start Gazella!

no nudity today

I made it through a whole day at work without exposing anything that would get more than a Sesame Street rating. Yeah! I also got another half inch or so done on Kyoto's sleeve. I've got some friends coming over tonight to celebrate Red's birthday, so I am betting I will get another half inch or so done while we are all chatting and finish up the ball of yarn I am working with now. And then I will switch to working on the back. It's kind of interesting- the sleeve is about the same size as the back. 117 stitches across for the sleeve, 119 for the back. Both are about 21 inches long.


Actually "interesting" is not the word I am looking for. Tedious would be a better word.

Mortifying discovery

Omigod. I just got out of a meeting and discovered that the 3rd button
on my shirt, the one over my boobs, was wide open. And since the two
buttons above it were open (intentionally) most of my bra and boobs were
all out for inspection and review. Crap. I can only hope it opened up
when I took my coat off after lunch, but I fear it has been that way all
day long, and no one told me in any of the 36 meetings I have been in
today.

Huh

Well, for whatever reason, Blogger didn't post my picture yesterday. It definitely uploaded the file, it just didn't display it. Well anyway, here's the lovely shot of the beach.



If I had moved the camera a couple inches left you'd have seen the stoners and my pork rinds. I love pork rinds. Did you know they now come in nacho cheese flavor, and you can also get microwave pork rinds that use the same technology as microwave popcorn?

I grew up in Arkansas, in case you were wondering.

Ocean View

I went to the LYS by the beach and got more yarn for Kyoto balled up.
And I got a treat for my Secret Pal. Now I am at the beach holding
Kyoto as if I am about to knit, but I'm not really doing anything with
her. I've been in that position for about on hour.

Here's the view from my chair. The people to my left are getting
stoned. I think I am going to end up with a contact high, based on the
amount of smoke blowing my way (I am at the beach and I have a phone I
can blog from, in case you were wondering if I am talking about people
at the beach or at my house). You can't tell from the picture, but the
dude in it has about 4 full inches of ass-crack showing, and up front
he's about .005" from showing everyone on the beach the family jewels.
I honestly don't know what is holding his pants up. How come it's never
the hotties that have wardrobe malfunctions, intentional or otherwise?

Wildlife and knitting

I've come to a stopping point on Kyoto. All the yarn I had balled up is now knitted up. The rest of the yarn is still in skeins, so I have to go to The Yarn Place tomorrow to get it wound up. That LYS is right by my beach, so I will kill two birds with one stone in the morning- beach and errand!

Speaking of yarn, YarnFinders hasn't found my matching yarn, and I am fearful once again that I will not have enough green to finish Kyoto. This is due entirely to the fact that the pattern calls for sleeves that are about 3 inches shorter than my own personal arms, even when measuring from the somewhat dropped shoulder. I'm not terribly horrified, I'll just have to get creative with the pink and white band at the bottom. It's going to have to grow about 3 inches to accommodate the sleeves taking up more green. I think I have more than enough pink and white to do that.


I have been working in my yard today. I'm trying to dig out these mammoth geraniums in the flower bed. They are like 5 feet tall and really ratty looking. Some of the stems are a couple inches across, and very woody. I kid you not, I am having to use an axe to dig these puppies out. Ohmigosh, and guess what else? I have figured out where the Brontosaurus-sized snails in my yard are coming from. They are all living in these geraniums. They are literally golfball sized, and there are ga-jillions of them. They make a very satisfying crunch when I step on them or smash them with my gardening tools. I love pesticide-free pest control.

In other news, the birds are finally starting to come in and hang out here. There are a whole bunch of little red-headed finches that are spending much time at the birdfeeder on the patio, and hanging out in the lemon tree and perching on the other plants on the patio too. Funny enough they also enjoy swinging on the Christmas tree lights I put up in the lemon tree for a little festive lighting at night. The birds like to peck at the glass bulbs too. The hummingbird that lives in the eucalyptus tree out front has started hanging out in the back yard all day, not just mornings and evenings like he has been doing the past few weeks.

And the best of all? Doves! I love doves, and I was sad that there were no doves in my neighborhood. But today I heard one, and then I realized that I heard it a lot. I kept an eye on it and saw that it is building a nest in the palm tree! It’s been working on it pretty steady for a couple of hours, and I have really enjoyed watching it come and go. It’s a big dove too, bigger than the typical doves I see here I the San Francisco Bay Area.

I will have to find my bird book and see what kind of birds these all are. I like to know the official names of things like that.


Oh, I know what else I need to put up around here: bee boxes! Orchard mason bees don’t live in hives, they build little nests in holes. I can make some really easily- pretty much all you do is drill some 3 or 4 inch deep, 5/16" wide holes in a chunk of untreated scrap wood (scraps salvaged from old fence posts are great for that) and hang it up in the yard. If onKyotooto was that fast and easy Maybe a I’ll make a butterfly house too, but I’ve never had much luck with butterflies using those. They always seem to be full of spider webs though, so at least someone likes them. Always a first time, though. I'd like to try a bird house too, but I think that is pretty much out of the realm of possibility for my attention span. I'll just find a pre-built one or a kit somewhere.


Ok, kool-aid break is over now. Back to the monster geraniums and my tiller!

I can't believe how easy it is to get sucked into crap like this. I spent an hour trying to make a doll that looks like me.

Here's the real me, and here's the doll.




Not even close really, but it did make the time pass, and it was a whole lotta fun. They have like 10,000,000 eyebrows and noses and shoes and shirts and hairdos and groovy special effects you can choose from.

It's all grey and overcast here. It is not a very nice morning. Unless of course you have the option of staying in the bed, sleeping till 10am, and then knitting till lunch time. Sadly, I do not have that option.

Monday Monday Monday

I had a lovely beach weekend in Santa Cruz. Great weather! I worked on Kyoto and am now only about 4 or 5 months from completion I think. Yeah! I also ate vast quantities of pork rinds (I'm from Arkansas, what can I say?) and saw The Lords of Dogtown. I thought the movie was great. Cute boys riding skateboards without shirts is definitely not a turn-off for me. Even if you don't know or care a thing about skateboarding (I fall into both those categories) I think it's worth the cost of a matinee showing and some popcorn.

TGIF

I went to the beach about 5:30 today and brought Kyoto and my girlfriend Blayssa with me. Blayssa and I gabbed, Kyoto got ignored. I whipped up a few rows on the sleeve when I got home.

That's not very exciting information, I realize. Sadly, it's the best I can do. For what it is worth I am going back to the beach in the morning and only bringing Kyoto with me, so chances are I will get a little more work done on it than I did today.

Are ya'll as tired of hearing about Kyoto as I am of talking about it? Next big project I do will not have 10,000 stitches per square inch, that's for darn sure.

New York Update

I'm back from my overnight trip to New York. Getting there and back was a hell of a lot of work. I figured out that from the door of my house to the door of the hotel and back, I spent 25 hours travelling. Due to the time difference I got absolutely no sleep, I ate at wierd times, and pretty much went non-stop the entire 8 hours that I was there. I never made it to the dinosaur exhibit because the people I was there to do my presentation for kept me busy answering questions and stuff. Speaking of which, my presentation went well. I was so over-prepared that I ran out of time before I ran out of info. I didn't need to stress as much as I did over this. Oh well.

I did see one landmark on the trip. I spotted it while I was in the cab to the hotel. Here it is.

I worked on Kyoto a little bit on the flight home. Sheesh, I am so slow. I will never be done with this thing. I can crank out about an inch a day on it but doing that puts some serious knitting time on the books.
