Monday Morning Mirth
There’s no place I’d rather be than with my friends listening to music…
Add a couple of Volcanoes, Fishbowl size drinks and some Hula Dancers to a phenomenal String Master and you have the perfect Jake Shimabukuro. This Hawaiian native puts moves on a Ukulele like NOTHING you’ve ever seen [or heard].

the Tiki Terrace
the fabulous Dinner Club in Prospect Hts.

MARCH ======= RED
I am a stereotypical City Chick. Most days, the palette runs deep, down right to the Brown, Black and no other. My body’s the baseline; the clothes the wrapper that SNAPS to large attention with just a touch of color.
Knitting is freedom like that. You can put on one small scarf and all of a sudden your eyes sing.
Or, you can brush away the shadows of your shoes with a stroke of Tone and You Dance!
It has been thrilling to see all over the knitWeb the way people are taking this to the streets. I knew I would probably not be able to be a Calendar Girl and commit to a Project-a-Month but I told Lolly I thought I could dabble in May (hmmm… GREEN!) and dance with a few others as well.
This is my Red.
And its red, burgundy, purple and blue! But when you see it from above, it’s the Red that wants you.
The dark cool Blue recedes and moves away.
This is Twinkletoes yarn from eBay seller lotusblossom (Over the Rainbow Yarns). Sadly, I don’t have the color info anymore…
hmmm… Margene has meme tagged Red Around the House!

A little wine, a little ambience, some fashionable friends!
I brought this naughty top with me to the Museum of Contemporary Art S’nB last night. It is just a short walk from work to the MCA – they’ve been staying open late on free Tuesdays so some Downtown Knitters can get together in Puck’s (as in Wolfgang) Cafe on the east side of the building. This project is sort of like a big SOCK in that you just go round and round – so it makes for the Perfect Chat Project.
(I’ve learned the hard way that things like Lace and Fussy Cabling do not mingle well with the mingling…)
And before I knew it , the sippin and clickn with the happy gang – including Jen and Theresa and KarenB – made the knittin’ fly by. In the middle of all that, a TV crew showed up and taped a segment for some show – My HANDS my HANDS! They were models for a little bit. And because we were downtown girls there was WINE! I toasted the camera guy when he asked me why I wasn’t shooting – he’s my fellow news hound outside – was he EVER surprised to see me clickn away. It made me go really fast. The drinkin shot will most likely be the one that makes it into their piece, I can just feel it…
So all that was left to do when I got home was the Neckband. And is it just me or does it look like that neckline is smiling?
I can’t believe how the variegation made these little smiley curves around the scoop. Est il faux pour l’adorer? I had to find the ONLY lit place in the hut and take a pre-blocked picture just to make sure I wasn’t seeing things…
