One Year and Counting...

Bob and I get married on June 27, 2009! He is in Minnesota right now and I miss him.
I have been knitting up a storm since he left on Tuesday. Here is what I have made so far...
They are Arizona Flip Flop Socks. They were fun to make and cute to boot!! I used Cascade Fixation yarn, it is cotton with a little elastic. Soft and stretchy.

I also made this...Calorimetry is the pattern. It is a headband/hat. Very quick to knit and it fits great. I just need a button. I am going to make a lot of these to give away (Aunt Sandy, you are getting one!) It is a headband that keeps your ears warm, and allows your hair not to get mushed like wearing a hat would do. It is great for when you are wearing your hair up or for keeping it out of your face on a windy day. Click on the picture to see it in action.
Today I am going to get some more yarn (like I don't have enough already!) and buttons for Calorimetry. I may even try to put some things in the garage, our place still looks like we are just moving in. My bedroom is like a storage area, and I want to get in nice and girly like I had it at my house. It will be my area to relax and knit, surrounded by quilts, embroidered table runners, lace and pastel colors. I no longer have a dresser, it was stolen from my old house along with my mountain bike, jewelry armoire (with a pearl necklace in it) and various other things that I cannot replace. I think one of the renters stole the stuff, they are the only ones who had access to the basement where my things were.

Dave Matthews & Rush

Monday night, Bob, Andreja, Josh and I went to see Dave Matthews at the DTE Music Theater. It was a great show! On the way back home we stopped at White Castle for burgers and they were really good. On Tuesday, Bob and I went to the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit to see Rush, where we got to go backstage and meet the band.

You can read more about our concert adventures at Bob's blog.

Knitting-wise, I am almost done with Coachella. I was hoping to have it done to wear to the Rush concert, but that did not happen. My boss and his wife had their baby last night, so I have to get cracking to get the blanket done. It is not far from being finished, but as any knitter knows, nothing ever is! That is why we have so many WIPs!!! (that is Works In Progress for you non-knitters out there!) So I better get going on my projects........
