Punks Not Dead

I picked up this plaque at the Melrose Trading Post on Sunday. I couldn't resist.

Silliness

The crazy busy summer continues. This past weekend my friend Athena was in town. We braved the heat and hit all the hotspots.

The highlight of the weekend, was my friend's birthday extravaganza. He has been planning this event for months. A group of 40 of us dressed totally rad in 80s attire and hopped on a bus headed to Medieval Times.

(chicken as big as your head! No utensils anywhere!)

Although our red-and-yellow-striped knight lost the battle,



we all had a blast. Once the bus brought us back,

we finished up the night with karaoke in Korean town. It was an interesting mix of things, but a winning combo!

I'm taking the red-eye outta here on Wednesday; heading back to Wisconsin for Gretchen's wedding!

Unraveling

I have been knitting but don’t seem to have a lot to show for myself. The pile of grey brown sheep you saw is still sitting a-waiting buttons and blocking, so I don’t want to show you something that’s only at 90 percent! The other recent finished object is secret and cannot be shown at this time.

While I was struggling with a bit of what-to-start-next-itis, boyfriend chimed in with a ‘me-me-me, make something for me!’, so that’s what’s happening next. Back in October/November I tried to tackle a hooded scarf for him with some black cascade I had. Winging this on my own was not very successful, and I eventually ended up with this one instead. Boyfriend wants a hat with a bit of extra slouch in the back, and I’m hoping this one will do the trick. Ripping out aforementioned scarf to get the yarn back took a good part of two evenings, but I am now ready knock this one out. Hopefully the yarn isn’t jinxed and this time around it works out!

Tonight boyfriend and I are venturing over to Spaceland to see a show. This might mean a sleepy Friday morning for me!
