Thank You!

Thank you for all of your kind words about Que Sera. I've started a KAL on Ravelry. I do hope you'll join us there.

As you can see I've also made a lot of changes to the blog. It's been in desperate need of updating for awhile. I hope you find the blog and pattern store a bit easier to navigate now. I'll probably keep tweaking it over the coming weeks, but I'm much happier with it already.

I've added a link to the side bar for TTLDesigns on Twitter. Follow me on Twitter for Through the Loops Design related announcements.

Since I don't like to write a post without photos I'll show you a few of shots I took of the kids' band over the weekend.  I was trying to get serious shots, but as you can see they weren't very cooperative.

 

All was forgiven though because I was lucky enough to get a private concert up on that beautiful hill. They were actually playing and singing in the photo below.

Their band, Blame the Patient has recorded an album which will be released at the end of June. If you like their music you can join their group on Facebook. They'll make announcements about show dates and the CD release there.

Finally, since this is a crafty-type of blog I want to note that this post is not entirely without crafty content. Sofie designed and made the dress that she's wearing in the photos. My mom gave her a dress form for her birthday a year or so ago and there's been no stopping her ever since.

I am very jealous of the that dress, it's sooo cute! I love the new website, and I've already been dancing along to "Blame The Patient's" tunes all morning (though I wish it were up on a lovely hill and not while I attempt to clean my messy apartment). Heading over to fb now!

I just checked out the closer-up shots from two of your posts back and was gob-smacked ... are those bats on the dress? Everything looks amazing, and I'll echo everyone else -- you must be so proud!

I was going to ask about the dress! I noticed it a few days ago on flickr, I thought you started sewing! I love the dress, that's one of my favorite fabrics

[Laura]

I want to be a teenager in a band too, lucky ducks! Love that dress, and your kid's enthusiasm!

I was sad to see the old banner go -- but I love the new one just as much.

Your kids always seem so fabulous on your blog that I wonder if they're a bit amazed/dismayed at just how many of your readers love seeing and hearing them (not that we aren't here for your wonderful designs and creations too!).

Can I just say that I love their music? I'm not too into music but I just clicked on the link you gave and I have to say I really like it! Well done, guys!
Oh, and I love the dress.

You have the most amazing children.They are so very talented. After listening to the soundtrack I can not wait to get the album. The skirt your daughter is wearing with que Sera is wonderfull and funky.

Hi Kristen--I just bought your shawl pattern and thought I would pop by the blog. I saw your kids play in Park Slope last year in May--your daughter has a beautiful voice. I was actually wondering if they were a real band and did a little internet searching to figure out who they were, and here they turn up on your knitting blog! I recognized your daughter's voice and picture, though I never connected it with the other photos you've shown of her!
