Weekend

Well had a really rough weekend. Too much wine and food. I don't think that I will make the 1.4 pounds off to make 50 pounds total. I am just hoping for no gain. Went to a good Chinese restaurant this weekend and had steamed veggies and white rice. that was okay, but when I got home DH wanted his own Chinese food, so stupidly I had more. Oh shoot.

I finished one of the monkey no purl socks this week and it fits and looks great. Started to other one, but have picked up the tank top too. Last weeks mystery sock was turning the heel, so that is done on both socks. Hope to finish up the mystery sock this week. At least I hope all the clues will be done so that I can start a new sock, probably for my DH since I have promised him one for quite some time.

Knitting socks

I have a new love and it is knitting socks. I am doing the mystery socks on ravelry and also started toe up, no purl monkey socks. I am having so much fun.

I can't wait to see what these socks will look like when they are done. So far they fit so I guess I am doing something right.

Well it will be a very interest few weeks for me. I am really going to have to watch what I eat since I have so many different dinner parties to go to for the rest of this month. Saturday 11th at MIL for seafood soup, Sunday the 12th, son Jason's birthday, Monday at MIL for leftovers then next Saturday 18th Duck Unlimited Dinner and Sunday the 19th birthday dinner for Keesha at chinese resturant. I am really going to have to hit the gym and take very small portions. It will be complicated, but I am up for the challenge. Need to lose more weight before Feburary.

Sunday Blues

Well this week has been fun. Started two different KAL with socks. One is a mystery one for socktoberfest and the other is just an Oct one. So far so good. I did finish Hey Teach, well still need to put on the buttons. I really like it. It is a little bit small, but I will get into eventually. I started working on a tank top, but have gotten a little bit bored with it. It has two different laces and it is really pretty. I am doing it in Bamboo from South West Trading Company. It is a pretty multi purple. I do like to knit with this bamboo yarn.

My son Bruce and his fiance got themselves an appartment so I am very happy about that since the wedding is coming up soon. I have to admit that I was a little worried that they would be moving into my basement. I didn't want them to move into my basement. It would have drove me crazy. Bruce still lives here, but goes and "visits" Keesha. It is all good to me. I want them to see what life is like on their own before they get married.
