Where have I been?

You know the story, busy busy busy. No, seriously, we've had ongoing illnesses at work, and I am either nurse, fill in to cover other jobs at the office, deal with contractors and electricians on 2 remaining house projects, do my own job, and oh yeah, find a little time to knit.

I actually have a F.O.! I finished up my Clapotis 2 months ago, and even took some pictures, but they are on my computer at home, where I keep forgetting to post them! It turned out great, I used the artyarns http://www.fabulousyarn.com/fabyarnpage_artyarns_supermerino138.shtml
in royal purples. I wore it to Stitches East and actually got some compliments on it (even if Clapotis is so several years ago) I actually started another one for my sister, but she informed me yesterday after seeing mine that she would prefer something more shaped like a shoulder shawl with ties. So, I'll pick a different pattern and start that.

We are just going into production week for "Maria Stuarda" but the good thing is, now that we'll be running the show from beginning to end ( in theory anyway) we will have alot of down time between stage appearances. We are on in the first act and then at the end of the second act for the execution scene. I'll be the one missing all my cues because I'll be crying....
but what it really boils down to is this. I'll have 60 to 90 minutes of unadulterated knitting time in the dressing room. Yea!! I'm enjoying this show, we have really good principle singers:

and we are not getting yelled at by the conductor or stage director. We open this Saturday.
Ciao.
