Look!! KNITTING!!

I decided that since I had the scunci out anyway to block Girl's store scarf, I may as well do a couple of things.
First, my Silk Rhapsody Shawl. Mind bending in it's simplcity - perfect for car, television, or classroom but a real bear to block. It's taking up the whole kitchen and the whole day. I assume that when I return Miss Hannah will have plunked her furry butt dead center - it's just what she does, and everyone needs a hobby, right? This is my excuse for not getting on the bike yet - "I had to block". Anybody buying this? I love this yarn. I want to live in it. Right in there, in the middle bit...looks comfy to me. And the pattern was very simple, just a B.W. faggoting, purse stitch. Now if I can just remember how many I cast on................
You know, it's a good thing blogger is free. The trouble I have with photo upload is astonishing. Up close it looks more like this, but we'll see how it holds it's shape when I am done tormenting it. It's stretched pretty tightly. You could bounce a quarter off of it. But if I caught you trying, I might have to kill you. This knitted up very quickly, but then sat for days on end waiting to be blocked. I just have not had the ambition to block.
Girl reminded me that I failed to blog, in my whining about boredom, about something really un-boring that happened on the 27th. We went to see Jamie Cullum at the Calvin Theater in Northampton. Wonderful boy. I personally was not as into this as Girl - this was her 18th birthday gift, tickets to see Jamie Cullum. I have listened, even have a couple of his songs on the mp3 player, but was not a huge fan. I am now. Boy Genius. Wonder-boy. Talent coming out of his eyeballs. Impressive, without a doubt. He's just great live. Really worth it, and if coming to a city near you, worth the trip. Of course, the Calvin is a small venue which made it very intimate (like when he came off stage with his trumpet player and was about 6 inches off of Girl's right elbow). A very talented young man, with incredible timing and musicality, uses the piano in ways one might marvel at. Great throaty jazz voice. It was a wonderful experience, and John Mayer and Sheryl Crow will have to be beyond stellar to improve upon it.
I also blocked this, silly little karaoke hat. I can't decide if it needs a scarf or now...I must consider it. I also have to write this up. The pattern is "I dunno yet, I have not written it". I am thinking of calling it . . . I forgot already. It will come to me. Ripples. Ridges. Curves. bumps, waves, sea-sickness. That's it! Mal de Mer!! . . . .wow. I may need to take a little break here....
