I missed a lot of years not listening to Alice but when Bernice asked me to go to Motley Crue and Alice Cooper in 2015, I said yes as fast as I could, and then started on my musical homework. What an excellent choice! He's got a lot of great standards, some definite personal faves, and so much range in the catalogue that there's probably Alice for every mood ever. My mom listened to Alice Cooper (back when Billion Dollar Babies came out...though when I offered her my copy, she politely declined - she's a little less hard rock these days!), so he can pretty cover off multigenerational groups too. And if you've ever seen Wayne's World, or you have the good fortune of tuning into his radio show, you know exactly how dry and sharp his wit is. We're not worthy!

In knit news, I've been burning through projects at a wild rate! I finished off my glorious Marian shawl, complete with little kitty pawprints, and in the last week I've also FINALLY used my fantastic SweetGeorgia Cashluxe Fine for another sweet design of my own; this one is called Mediterranean (gorgeous blues for the front and back), a cowl neck tank with lace back. The lace is inspired/based on the Ambah O'Brien Lilli Pilli shawl; I've been loving that pattern ever since I saw it and I've made it twice (with increasing proficiency, haha) and still adore the look of the lace! So awesome. I don't have good shots of my FOs - to be honest I should've shot them this weekend but it was so sunny I just had to sit and enjoy it! - so they'll be in a roundup soon, but in the meantime, I'm casting on another Heart On My Sleeve sweater (Crazyheart, I think!) with some more SweetGeorgia - Superwash DK in Coral, Hush, and Salt Air - and maybe I'll even do the sleeves two at a time because I'm crazy like that, haha. Party on, Wayne!
