International Springsteen trip

We went to Vancouver BC to see The Boss.

We had seats on the floor, Row 19. But if you’re short, the floor is not ideal for actually seeing the performers. Thank goodness for the monitors!

The show went 3 hours, 20 minutes. Lots of great music, and the band was in fine form.

This was our Airbnb. The heater in the main area wasn’t working properly, so it was a bit chilly. We had a good time anyway.

The view was great, and we were right by Rogers Arena, the concert venue.

Good friends, good times!

Berroco Wizard in Fluorite colorway

And I got to play with a new-to-me yarn. I’m planning an entrelac class at Hook and Needle on March 29, and I wanted to see if this yarn they carry is appropriate. Why yes, it is. This is Berroco Wizard, 85/15 Superwash Wool/Nylon. It’s a very light and lofty chainette, classified as bulky. Recommended needle size is 10-10 1/2 (6-6.5 mm), but I’m using a US9 because I like the fabric better. Based on current progress, I’m guessing this 100g ball will result in a 36 – 40” length. Perfect for a light and lofty Minerva cowl. If you’d like to learn to knit entrelac with me, stay tuned!

  1. What a fun trip! I never thought to stay on a boat as an AirBnB. Being up close always sounds fun, until everyone stands in front of you and you can’t see. Or sit without someone’s backside in your face. Looked like a fun concert though! Leigh

  2. You guys get to do the BEST things, Michele !! I will assume that all those empty seats meant the shot was taken in some kind of break – or before the show got going.

    I sometimes think The Boss’ act should be known as ‘Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’ !

  3. I would love to learn to knit that!! Too bad I’m so far away. Ahh, but you do cruises don’t you. I can definitely see knitting retreats/cruises in my future.

  4. Lucky you – Vancouver (one of my favorite cities) and The Boss!

  5. Sounds like a wonderful time! And how cool to get to stay in a houseboat as your Air B&B! The entrelac looks very cool in that yarn 🙂
