Oh yeah...

I knit this sweater about 2 years ago.
Then I packed on some weight and the sweater got put away, which was sad on many levels that we don't need to get into right now...

This morning I was lying in bed between attacks of my alarm clock trying to think of what to wear to work. I could hear the rain, so I knew a sweater would be required...

Remember I said I was getting my health on recently? Well fast forward to today...

I've lost about 15 pounds so far since January so I thought maybe I would try my Idlewood sweater on with my jeans and a long sleeve white shirt...as you see pictured.

Well as you can see it fits, it fits better than when I made it!

But that's not the best feeling...
Oh no...
There is a better one...

The jeans I grabbed OUT of the dryer this morning and slipped on like nobodies business were not the ones I planned on wearing.

I thought I had grabbed my skinny jeans with a touch of Lycra in them...

It was not the skinny jeans!

It was when I looked down and realized they weren't my skinny jeans that I thought I had grabbed that I practically floated out of the bathroom! Two weeks ago these non-Lycra having no stretch out of the dryer jeans were still snug enough that if I sat in them blood was cut off from the extremeties!


I believe that every day is glorious

But Today is super glorious!

Happy Friday!

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
