1st & 2nd Mates

You may have watched this vlog about my theater experience with a wonderful crew for How I Became A Pirate. I wanted to share a few more pictures & videos of K & M. I hope you enjoy.
M & K thought it would be fun to make t-shirts for any member of the production crew that wanted a Tartuga t-shirt. Of course, everyone needed a name to go on the back. This is a picture of the back of their shirts. I think they did a great job! The back of my shirt said "kid knittingbrow."

I really like this picture of these two amazing crew members. They had a great time and it shows on their faces. I believe they still like each other after the experience, too. Always an added bonus, I think.



They spent much of the show moving the dinghy.


and they wanted a picture of them holding it.


And what does the crew do during the performances? Check these out.

or this one


Theater should be fun. And this experience was fun.

Wednesday Knitting

A short introduction to the Wednesday knitting group.



We've been getting together on Wednesday's for almost two year.

Here's a run down on the people who were present.
knitSB, you've heard about him before. ;) He's knitting on a scarf from One-skein wonders called the One Skein Scarf using Cascade 220.
Songferret, also referenced in the blog for his amazing ability to relate everything to a musical in three sentence or less.
Cat who is working on some original bag designs based on Mary Ann's paintings.
Yarmando who is knitting on the Koolhaas hat. His second, I believe.
Big Matt joined us for the first time in a long time. He shares his camel toe sock and another project that I don't remember.
KnitMeredith joined us (without her knitting!)
EPSGuy is working on his Pie are Square shawl in a yummy alpaca.
The very shy KnitMary was putting a crocheted edging on the Butterfly Pullover.

That's the group. And we discovered two more knitters knitting at Cup o Joe! They joined us and fun was had by all!

Surprise Jacket and Weekend Update

The casting on of the Suprise Baby Sweater went fine and I've knit about 22 garder ridges. A picture wouldn't be much fun right now as all you'll see is garter stitch *yawn*.
I've continued on the Bluberry Scarf in Noro but on size 9 needles. I'm happy with the color wave and the feel of the fabric. I began the second skein yesterday. A picture will be posted soon.
Friday had a great lunch with highschool friend scOtt at Panera. Four hours flew by! We should do this again!
Worked on Saturday and went to learn to play Mah Jongg at Mike's house with Lady Julie and Jeff. We decided not to play Mah Jongg and enjoy company wallowing. Good food and excellent company was enjoyed. Watched Down with Love which I thought was fun.
Sunday was quiet and allowed me to spend time on taking care of myself and my yard.
