Thrice the crochet goodness!!
Hey, everyone! It's Valentines Day and what better way to celebrate than by showing a little love for crochet and OMGURSOHAWT rock bands?! (Bear with me here.)
Today, the new issue of Knit.1 Magazine hit the shelves featuring both my Travel Wrap design as well as my interview with Thrice's babelicious bassist, Eddie Breckinridge! I spent a day on tour with him and his band, hanging out and chatting about his two passions: music and crochet.
The issue also includes world-travel inspired projects, an ode to pirates, "Mile High Club" projects and handy-to-know knitting phrases in 11 languages! All that to say, uber Editor-in-chief Adina Klein put together a fantastic looking issue. As my friend Jennifer Perkins said to me today while we were looking at the issue for the first time, "Man, this magazine totally makes me want to learn how to knit. There's some CUTE stuff in here!". I know I'm kinda biased, but I'd have to agree. Speaking of Ms. Perkins, her Naughty Secretary Club jewelry is sprinkled throughout the issue. Because, after all everything is better, crafting included, when accessorized. Soooo, while you're out frantically searching for last minute cards and flowers, stop on by your local news stand and pick up a copy. Oh, and don't forget to give your favorite knitter or crocheter a big V-Day kiss for me!
Stay tuned for bonus material...
xoxo,
Vickie
And now, aformentioned bonus material:
These are a few shots not seen in the article from my day with Thrice.
Eddie and me, shopping for yarn at Hill Country Weavers in Austin.
It was frrrrrrrrrrreeezing the day we met, so Eddie was kind enough to crochet me a beenie. This is him working on it, minutes before he's supposed to go on stage.
Here it is finished...

The end.

Mmmmm, new magazine issue. I subscribed to the magazine when I got the Men's issue - I couldn't resist. I hope that my issue comes in the mail soon.
That is so sweet that he crocheted you a beenie; aaaaaawwwww!
We must get the magazine in the shop before it hits the stands because I read it a few days ago. I loved your article. Go you!
Vickie,
Every day is Valentine's day with you in my life...Thanks for plugging the new ish.

Damn! Eddie is cute! And I might say that you look especially happy to be posing with him. :) It's kinda hard to see the beanie you're wearing in the photo but it looks real cute. I absolutely LOVE the scarf you're wearing!!! I assume it's one of your own creations. Sincerely, Theresa
Thanks for the props, everyone! It's kind of weird that it's just coming out since I just did the interview for the NEXT column. Anywhoodles, YAY for Eddie, he's a doll. xx, Vic

My mom loves your show on the diy network and I absolutely love Thrice. Seems natural. Isn't Eddie on of the greatest guys? He's my bass idol.
