Hey, I'm complaining its not raining. I AM A MELONHEAD!!
Speaking of which it doesn't look like we'll be heading to Milwaukee for the show next weekend. I can't bring myself to pay the $65 a ticket price when for one, I can't guarantee I'll be able to take my chosen spot, directly in front of Rogers, and their set list will be shortened because they are one of several acts, playing on multiple stages for the 105th Harley Davidson party. If I could pay my $65 directly to the band and be assured I'd have my spot within inches of my favorite guitar player, I'd be there. I'm a selfish Melonhead. I want my band to play all their songs, all night long, just for me! I don't want to fight non-fans who are at the fest to drink beer and swap Hog riding stories. I'm going to bank on Mankato at the end of September. I'm hoping to get my fix then.
I've been knitting hats with my "Kniffy Knitter". I've made a couple of melon green ones of course and now I've made DH a red and black hat to go with his jacket. The boys have placed their orders for their favorite colors, and now I'm also thinking of making a "bee" style, yellow and black. I've got the glasses and the figure. I can be the "bee" girl at the next Blind Melon show! LOL! Actually I was thinking of making the band members hats to keep their noggins warm while they tour Canada. I'm crazy pyscho fan aren't I?
My mom had once showed me how to knit, but I always ended up dropping a stitch here and there. Plus
she's a lefty who was taught by a lefty Swede herself, her mother. I guess there is an American way to knit and a European? Anyway, if push came to shove, I could knit and purl the real way but I'm much faster using the Kniffy Knitter circle loom. I can crank out a hat in an hour or so. I'm sure eventually, I'll tire of making only hats and move on to something else. Well, the sun is now out. Great...now its hot, humid and sunny...a perfect miserable Trifecta. I'm off to do my rain dance or read Twilight some more. I know everyone says this book is so good, but I'm not there yet. Maybe I'm too difficult to please when it comes to vampire romance?

I love my looms I wish I had smaller (for mittens) I need to get those I hope next month
Hope that rain shows up and cools things off for you.
I used to have one of those knitting looms as a kid, but I'm sure it got tossed out. Jen, our fellow homeschooling buddy, bought one early spring I think.:) she hasn't mentioned using it as of late.
Love the hats, I was thinking about getting one of those and try my hands at knitting. I also love those knitting machines they sell, but they are kind of pricey.
It is still humid up here too, feels like the Louisiana swamp not Wisconsin
We could use some rain here too. Cute hats! Have a great weekend!
I wish I could give you our rain...it's been sort of nonstop here for weeks.
