to think of kick ass post names? no, I'm afraid not. It's been a lovely day of knitting, working on my cage project (pretty much done now) and other things...like puttering. I'm very good at that. Now I'm thinking- how can the song Herculean be so good and epic when it's too short? It really has so much more potential than it is as it is now. It could easily go on for another verse or so. Nevertheless I enjoy watching the boys in suits and top hats and pulling off that grungy-chic without that much effort. Enough to make you swoon.
The Loreena McKennitt concert was amazing. After waiting like 8 years or so to see her live- well I think it worked out just dandy. She played great songs- not just the ones from her new album. She opened up with "She moved through the Fair"...which sounded different that it did on paralell dreams. Also- I was totally psyched about her playing The Old Ways, The Highwayman, and The Lady of Shallot. Could it have gotten better? YEs! Then she played Marco Polo....and other wonderous things.
However seeing Loreena meant not seeing Jarvis Cocker, which was ultimate sadness for me. In fact. I just his video for "Don't Let Him waste your time" which I laughed so much over. It's so lame and corny and I love it.
So, Lets talk about socks. Beautiful Lace socks, as in the Anna Socks in Rowan # 40. These made my heart flutter when I picked up the pattern book a few weeks back...and now I have gotten Sooty...the 4 ply soft, and I'm so happy with the first 7 inches of progress that I have made. I have done my research and read others posts about the needle size so I started with US 2 dpns and probably will go down to 1's towards the ankle. I've never made socks before...so we shall see what happens. Hopefully I'll get to the end of the calf before I go to Japan so someone in the house can help me do the heel and foot!
