A Wicked Day

I have finally seen Wicked the musical! My little Emma only talks about it all the time, sings the songs, tells me the characters, etc. etc...now, I can relate!!! We started out Saturday morning, getting Emma in full costume, (black dress, green face and all), then headed to Cincinnati with Emma's gammy, Peggy, and Aunt Sara. I am very sad to say, I couldn't find our camera, so I don't have any pictures :( But check out Peggy's blog to see a few :) It was awesome! The story is wonderful! I also enjoy the CD so much more now that I know what is going on and who is singing. Emma was very happy having seen the show twice now and coming home with a Wicked beanie, shirt, and beautiful water globe that plays her favorite Elphaba song "Defying Gravity". She just loves it!

Knit-wise, I have finished Emma's scarf (from my previous post) and also made her a hat to match. I would like to knit up some mittens to go with, but I don't know if I can take much more of that yarn, so she may have to go without mittens :( I may start a Wicked afghan if I'm feeling froggy, ha froggy...ok Peggy may be the only one that gets that. I'm a dork! Anyway, we'll see, I have to figure out the chart first :\

In other news, I'm also crossing my fingers to go on a knitting trip in February. I may have to take poor knitter donations or something though, lol, so wish me luck!

Cool that now you and Emma can talk about the show.

We will have to see about getting you to the retreat.
