Warning! Warning, Will Robinson!

Catchy title, huh? That's to let ya know that there's complaining ahead...but on with the knitting first. As you see, I finished the Cocoon Vest. Specs below:
pattern-from a Craftster
yarn: Kool Wool in grass-6 skeins, although the pattern called for 8
needles-size 11 Clovers

I didn't make any alterations to the pattern. The only thing was in putting it together. The arms gaped so widely, so I sewed the collar more at an angle. After wearing it today, one side seems still more gaping than the other. I may do it again in red.

As for Neil...he Rocked the house! My friend, who I'll refer to as Red from here on out, had read some reviews which said he "talked" most of the lyrics. Well, if one listens closely to his old stuff, one realizes that he didn't really sing the lyrics back then! I loved him, and I thought he put on a great show. Red and I were some of the youngest folks there. The 60 and up crowd were really getting hammered! Anyway, I'd say the venue was 95% sold out.-including those dreaded seats behind the stage. Red and I really enjoyed ourselves and plan on getting together for our next event. May I have a drumroll please.....BON JOVI!!!!!
I bitched and moaned in another post about this, and on the way home to get ready for Neil, it was announced on the radio!! Now, here's where the complaining begins. Red heard about the advance ticket sale that was to take place on Friday--after Neil. But then, if Hurricane Wilma didn't screw things up...Ticketmaster did! They go on sale this Saturday since we are not part of some elite group that has a special password to get the tickets on Friday. I say this is complete and utter b. s. Why should some people get a password and others don't? Concerts have always been a conspiratorial event to me. I'm referring to the tix sales. You can be first in line and get tix all the way in the back of the theater! I say this because last year I got up at the crack of dawn to wait at the box office to see Da Man, and the closest they had was 20th row! Come on, already!! Give us little guys a chance to get the good seats.

Back to knitting...like my segway? What segway?
I am determined to finish a shrug I started several months ago, and I am almost finished with a purse. I just need to find some lining for it. Guess this means it really was never Footober for me!
