Blues, Ribs, and sock yarn

♥ Comments (5) ♥

Ok so if you live in Chicago you have no excuse to NOT be attending any one of the thousand things going on this weekend. Blues Fest kicked off last nite in Grant Park. We are going to see David “honeyboy” Edwards play his two sets in the afternoon on Saturday. He will be 91 this summer! We were lucky to attend his 90th birthday celebration last july. SO GOOD! and since the blues fest is free AND it will be in the 60’s this weekend...you have no excuse people.

there is also Rib Fest going on over in North Center/Lincoln Square. you can get your BBQ on, as they battle it out to be #1 in the BBQ pit. And there is also Wells street art festival. Going on all weekend as well. i think it is only 5$ to get in...google it (i’m feeling lazy) and check. If you see me there with a frowning boy (nat) in tow please wave and say hi. (and i don’t know why nat is always frowning and looks so unenthused all the time...if you ask him he simply says he LIKES frowning..coming from a boy who idolizes Mr. Burns i think it makes sense)

in knitting news. i’ve STILL be knitting dishcloths. Yes it’s dishcloth blitz all over again. This time i am gearing up for my sisTURD’s birthday and my friend’s house warming in july. they will each have a stack. I am feeling the ZEN of the sock. everyone’s knitting socks. i’ve borrowed the vintage sock book from erin and i ordered some way way WAY pretty yan to get in the sock zen. i will begin my season of the sock after the discloth blitz. so let me show you the yarn! i found it here Rae is super nice. She will even wind it for you if you ask nicely. She also did something BRILLIANT! she attached a stitch marker to the tail of the skein so you know where to start! i love her! Here’s Lemongrass


and Dalhia

so our stuff is packed up, labeled, and ready to be shipped off with Kristen and Mo. We are sad we are not going with them to NYC tuesday, but at least our stuff is. So NEXT WEEKEND if you see our stuff make sure you wave at mr. horse, mr. whale, and the piggy. they like it when you wave. everything we have conviently fits in these bins (ignore the MOUNTAIN of dog toys in the far background)

(and thank you all for the well wishes it means a lot to us. we are glad (*whew*) you like the new animals and fabrics. we hope you all go to brooklyn and buy all of our stuff so we can eat and buy more fabric around here!)
