Thanks, Sunne!

When I got home from the Thanksgiving family week-long visit, guess what was waiting for me at the door? My prize! My prize! Not only did Sunne send me the yarn she promised, but a punky canvas bag and stitch markers!

What a lovely welcome home surprise!

Contest entry with 6 days to spare!

Kat sent me this pattern to match with a song. It's a knitted lampshade! I am discovering that there is nothing that can't be turned into a knitting project! It's been nice to stop thinking about the election for a few moments to find a song match. I found one from one of the most talented bands of all time, Rush. Have you checked out their website? If not, you must go see. I had no idea they were still together and will be listening to their new album after I'm done posting this.

I picked the song, Limelight. The video is not the greatest but the tunage more than makes up for it. Enjoy!

Just in time for Halloween

So, I sent my pal some Colinette jitterbug, and she, clever girl that she is, sent me this pattern.

This is my opus:

The Call of Ktulu by Metallica

From what I've read, this is an instrumental inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu. Any mortal man is advised never to speak Cthulhu's name aloud, for fear of calling the beast. This may be why Metallica chose to change the spelling of it's name, as well as speak no words in the song.

Go ahead, I dare you. Speak it's name three times in front of a mirror in a darkened room. Scared? Mwah ha ha ha!!

Thanks for such a cool pattern, Rhoda!
