Knit Kick

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I have been on a knit kick lately. Part of it is avoidance of the wedding quilt– haven’t been in the mood for that. I am going to make myself sit down and work on it today. Once I get going on it again I won’t want to stop. In the meantime, a group of friends and I have been working on Booga Bags from Black sheep Bags. I chose a variegated yarn that was fun to work with and did it on larger needles than the pattern called for. I am having some issues with the blocking, but hopefully the finished bag will look great. I am thinking that felted bags might make great Christmas gifts this year.

I am hoping that when I get the strap inserted that this looks more it is supposed to and less like a blob.

Renaissance Fun last weekend

Monday, July 14th, 2008

It has been too long since I have posted. Life gets in a rut and I haven’t had a lot new to talk about. I am working on a project for a local quilt shop that I can’t post yet.

We had a great weekend. First swe topped to see my son and daughter in law and take them out to dinner for his birthday. Living a state away, we don’t get to see them often enough so treasure the times we can spend together.

From there to the inlaws to spend time with them, and visit the Bristol Renaissance Faire. The weather was perfect and we had a fabulous time. Lots of opportunity for people watching. Here is the picture of me in my costume that a few people requested.

Bounding Main was spectacular as usual, even though one of their members had laryngitis. I know I sound like a groupie– (their term for it is Bounding Mainiac), but they are just one of the most entertaining groups around (and their music is fun to sing along to). If you have the opportunity to see them perform, grab it!


Moonie is another favorite of ours and he was especially entertaining at the show we saw and had us rolling with laughter the entire show.

Of course, It wouldn’t be a Ren Faire without lots of shopping. My husband has been trying to get me to look at boots for awhile now to go with my costume. I haven’t bothered because my foot is so hard to fit, but the girl at the shop convinced me to try a pair on and I was amazed. They fit my very wide foot oh so comfortably, and are cute enough to wear with jeans and other casual clothes. My husband may have created a monster because I just may have to have a pairs in other colors too.

Finally, the faeries at this faire were spectacular, I will leave you with a last image.
