Earthtones Girl

I’m going to see Lilith Fair today with my sister at the PNC Banks Arts Center.  Can you say excited?  About a month ago she called me and said she’d just gotten two tickets and we were going on July 31st.  what, What, WHAT!!!! She said she didn’t want to ask me first because she knows I would have been heming and hawing (as we say) and making excuses not to go.  This way it was a done deal.  I’m so freakin’ excited.  For so many reasons.  An entire after/evening listening to excellent music, in the company of my dear sister, KNITTING!!! and having a little break from my little one. 

Now after all that I have two thoughts on this day.  One…what knitting project to take with me.  Two…as much as I welcome a short respite from my Kira I’m going to miss her so much.  Am I nuts?  I haven’t even left yet, it’s 10:30 am and I miss her already.  She’ll be in the best hands but…

Ok…back to thought number one.  What project?  Socks of course but what yarn?  Yes, I know I’m way over thinking this but just bear with me.  This is such a rare gift to have so many hours to myself to knit and chill out  I want to knit wisely.

I’m not leaving until 1pm so there is time to decide.  Here are my choices.

Mountain Colors Crazyfoot (Red Tail Hawk)

Their Bearfoot has been one of my favs for years and I’m dying to try this new yarn.

or Dragon Fibers Dragon Sock (Bad Moon Rising)(just arrived yesterday from Loopy Ewe)  A bit colorful for me but why not…but I’m also thinking to save this for a colorwork project I have on my list.

or scrape socks all together and work on another Damson in Skinny Bugga (Long Horned Beetle)

Choices…it’s so great to have them. 

Next post…concert details and pictures.
