Yes! I finished the third, yes, THIRD version of the BAM13 Sweater. This one is happenin'. I am okay with the neckline after much debate about it. I think on a later version, I would still do it slightly different, but the basic concept will be similar. Whew.
I still have zillions of knitting on sticks that I need to get finished. I've made one of those promises to myself....
I promise not to start another knitting project until I finish all WIP's!
I've also been adhering to a strict yarn diet. Due mainly because of our van's transmission cost but also, we need the money to press up our cd!
Art n Rock n Roll
On an art and music note, our best friend, Jo Almeida aka Jo Dog of the Dogs D'Amour happens to be an amazing artist. In particular, check out his guitar sculptures. They are made from PAPER! Seeing them in real life is nothing short of astonishing.
Today
...marks the 8th wedding anniversary for Bam and me. We were married barefoot in the sand at Venice Beach on June 1, 1996. We picked that day because it was a Saturday and had a full moon. Still in love and very very very happy together. Maybe Phil Lynott got it right.....'Dancing in the Moonlight'. (I adore Thin Lizzy!)
Just Stuff
I am leaving for Minnesota in a few days time again. Going to go help out my parents and be there for my dad's birthday, too. I'm looking forward to seeing them and breathing that nice, clean air.
Ever since we came home from Hawaii, we've been eating so well! Bam has been inspired to create the most amazing meals every night. From Grilled chicken with roasted pasilla peppers served with a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, capers, artichoke hearts in a sauce that he made from stuff in our cupboards/fridge that I don't even notice.........to fresh papaya served with lime .....to grilled wild mahi mahi....well, I'm just not explaining it enough! I mean, he makes these sauces for marinades and salad dressings that are simply to die for. I feel so healthy!
Plus I've been kickboxing to a DVD lately and having a blast with that and getting my aggression out! Nothing like punching and kicking and then sitting down to knit. I love the craziness of that!
WOW!
I just found out that Indie 103.1 just played us again today.......during the day! I knew they had played us on their local show but I sure did not expect to get any airplay during their regular programming hours.!!!
I am flipppppppppppin out!!!!! Maybe it was a fluke, maybe it was an accident, ...........maybe i'm just really happy about it!
eeehaw!

Congrats on the airplay! I can't wait to hear you and buy your new CD. Gotta support all the rockin-knitting-chicks out there!
And Bam 13 looks great. Can we get an action shot with Bam modeling?

Happy Anniversary. I just talked to Hornhead and he couldn't believe it has been 8 years since your wedding. The only wedding we have ever attended other than our own. Congrats and here is to another 8 years together and congrats on the airplay on 103.1!!! Wonderful sweater too....
