CarmelKnits, etc.

It's not catching. I don't think. I knit stuff. I don't finish anything right now. There was that Fair-Isle-Along that I was running from May - June and I finished exactly one item. The second item is rolling around in the back of my car right now. I cast on for a pair of ankle socks and they are moving along. Kind of. Wednesday night I got a wild hair to start another project for Baby G. After I told myself it was time to knit something for me, a sweater, a cardigan, another cowl (please don't let it be another cowl yet) something, something for me by me that will be worn by me. I started Sock Yarn Sweater for Baby G by Hannah Fettig. I'm pretty excited about it. I want to get it done so I can give it to him when I meet him even though I know it'll be way to big for him yet but it will fit him thru winter and spring in the midwest and that is what's important. However, I'm still in a funk Maybe it's not a funk though Maybe it's

Back in March, D and I headed over to the Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville to line up and purchase our summer concert series tickets for the 2014 season. Last night was the first concert of the batch we purchased. Ringo Starr and His All Star Band... We had such a great time. D's older brother's family joined us and I think this picture pretty much sums up the night... Tomorrow I'll post the pasta salad recipe that I made... It was amazing!
