I’m Back!
Whew, even though it was 12 days it feels like a whirlwind trip back home! I guess that is what happens when you go from February to December without getting back. I had a wonderful time visiting Chris and getting to meet several other knitters I hadn’t gotten to meet in person as well as some ones whose blogs I hadn’t stumbled upon yet. It was fantastic to meet yet another well-mannered and happy little boy when staying with my cousin, Andrea. I got to see many of my aunts and uncles. And, I got to celebrate Christmas all last weekend.
Like anyone who returns from vacation, you need another vacation. I have piles of stuff that need dealing with - preferably before the real Christmas and it has to get done between all the other crazy holiday stuff going on now. I will no doubt be slow to catch up on blogs (using it as a reward for jobs well done I’m sure) and probably slow to give you my travelogue. To keep you entertained while I work on my posts about the trip while spinning and knitting and designing like a mad woman I’m holding a fun holiday contest.
Over the course of the weekend we went to a couple Christmas concerts, visited a local museum house that was decorated for Christmas and had some really good food. We worked hard at getting into the holiday spirit early enough to celebrate on Monday evening. The group of photos above are some I took at one of the concerts we attended. They are a bit blurry due to low lighting and much movement of the performers, but if you are familiar with this group at all they are recognizable. You also have further info you can use hidden here in this post and info available if you’ve been around here for a while and know where “home” is to help you figure it out. Unleash that inner detective and your Googling skills :-)
For every seven comments containing guesses as to this band’s identity I’ll give away a free knitting pattern. At least one pattern will go out to someone who guessed incorrectly. If many get it right, part of the drawing for the patterns will contain only correct guessers.
As usual, if you’ve gotten the details or I knew you were present at said concert you are excluded from the contest. The contest is open through next Wednesday, December 19th.
