Yeah, nothing much to show on the knitting horizon, but I felt like updating. I'm still trying to crank along on secret project #1, but I gotta tell ya..it's sloooow going with flame stitch coupled with the fact that the piece has to be so large, but I can see a pay off. Last night I placed the 2 pieces side by side, and I think it's coming out just fine. My nerves are wracked, though. I had to make a side trip to Joann's for more yarn since it's discontinued and I didn't even have a 40% coupon to use. It was a bummer, but now I at least have enough to finish...hoping there won't be a glaring dye lot issue. Beggars can't be choosers. And I've decided to use an applied I-cord around the edges...when I brought this up at knitting group, there wasn't a single book at Barnes & Noble that discussed this technique. Anyway, one of the other knitters suggested this website to me, and I gotta say...Yay for knitting videos. Here's the link:

"Sing us a song, you're the piano man..." yep..I'll be concerting again with Red. Got the confirmation from Red as to where we're going to be sitting, and it's pretty coincidental that it's 2 rows closer than Bon Jovi, but in the same section. Weird, huh?
