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!

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
