Where am I?

Not location wise because I'm still in the Seattle area... It's more of a where the hack have I been in the knitting world! I turn 40 and feel like I've disappeared. We'll, I haven't really disappeared but re-prioritized some things in my life.

Mainly my health.
I'm pretty overweight.
By like 100 pounds
So I made a deal with myself.
I'm going to lose 100 pounds in 365 days.
I'm exercising every day and eating a healthy balanced diet.
No magic diet
No restrictions
Just burn more calories than you consume.
D's been doing it a lot longer than me and is down a lot!
Things I've noticed after a month
1. Clothes hang differently
2. My food cravings have changed.
3. I'm happy. Like really really happy.
So, I'm still knitting
I'm still doing the forum for Americas Knitting but I'm also exercising an hour to an hour and a half per day... That really cuts in to my knitting time but that's okay
Because if I'm not healthy there may come a time when I can't knit and that would be devastating!

Stay tuned!

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...
