First Sweater Finished

Family

It’s finished! Finally! This project began on May 2, 2010 when we visited an LYS (local yarn shop) in Odessa with CJ and Phil. We got everything – yarn, pattern, needles – needed for a sweater. Steve was sport enough to agree to wear a sweater if Karen knit it for him. It was a learning process. There was a lot of tinking (that’s “knit”ting backwards) and frogging (that “rip it”) and starting over as well as learning a few new techniques. But it’s done! Finished the last cast off last night. And Steve gamely wore it to the Smoky Mountain Knitting Guild Christmas Party this afternoon. Actually he was grateful for a warm wool sweater since the Old Stone Inn was a chilly place on this cold afternoon.

Burgh House Hampstead

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
