Cast On: Siren Beanie

The family went out to the ballgame. The Royals are just down the road from us and we took in a Sunday game. We had a lovely brunch before the afternoon game and couldn’t have asked for better weather. The only problem was that I didn’t have any game approved knitting.

I grabbed some Treasure Goddess DK Treasures in the Song of the Sirens Color that was already wound up. I opted for wooden needles to get past security. I made sure to count and cast on during the car ride over.

By the 7th inning stretch I managed to make over an inch of a hat! I think I am going to do a basic stockinette beanie with a folded brim. Just nice pure autopilot knitting.

Happy Baseball season!

Batter Up!

The hubby and I stole some special time to celebrate our forthcoming 9th wedding anniversary. We live close enough to Kansas City that we made a BBQ and baseball date!



The rain held off and the Royals even won!


I snuck in the obligatory “knitting” at the ballpark…


I’ll catch you up on this new project later this week. Happy Knitting!!

The family and I made the trek to KC for a Royals game this past Friday. Such a wonderful ball field and we don’t completely suck this year!!

I want to say it was amazing family evening….but….it was 95 degrees in the shade with NO breeze. The game was sold out and we were packed in their like sardines. We were seated under middle deck and couldn’t see the whole scoreboard. My mother found the margarita stand, several times. My sister got a stomach ache from buck night hot dogs. And I sweat through my t-shirt and shorts. It was even too hot and crowded to knit!!

My husband was a trooper through it all! I love him do much 🙂

Boy am I glad it’s Monday and I’m headed to an air conditioned office. Next year I vote we stay home and watch the game on the plasma in the a/c and make our own margaritas and hot dogs, lol!!!
