Another month and no weight loss

Well as this month comes to a close I find myself totally lacking focus on the diet front. Have gained again, but still under 200 so I will take that as a semi good thing. Haven't been drinking in 48 days so that in itself is a good thing too. Need to find my weight watchers mojo. I know that I can lose this weight and want to lose this weight, just have to.

On the knitting front all is well. Have finshed two pairs of socks, started pioneer sweater from knitty.com spring issue 09 and worked on my Rona lace shawl. Just started a new sock pattern Mokira out of Dream In Color Smooshy, colorway Ruby River. The last time I used DIC smooshy, it went from think to thin a lot. This skein doesn't seem to be that way, so I guess I will keep trying out this yarn.

I have purchased Verena Knitting Magazine online and so far have enjoyed looking at it. There are a few patterns that I would like to try. Also am receiving Interweave Knits and I really enjoy this magazine. There is always a few patterns every month that I want to do. Too many patterns, not enough time. I am also waiting for Cookie A's book Innovations in Socks. Amazon is sending it to me. Will give my review once it is here. Can't wait for it since I do like Cookie A's patterns. Have done baudelaire and one of the many revised monkeys.

Won sock yarn from Ravelry SKA for January's kal. Very cool yarn from String Theory Caper colorway fusion. It is a really soft feeling yarn. Can't wait to find the perfect sock patter for it. I really enjoy knitting with the SKA group on ravelry. I also do kal with the Fairbanks Fiberistas, Socks that Rawk, Stash Down in 2009 (not doing so well with that one since I keep buying instead of just knitting).

Speaking of buying: purchased more Socks that rock, got a skein from Yarn Pirate, yarns from Knit Picks (probably wont buy anymore knit picks yarn since it is really thin) Claudia Handpaints. Waiting to see if I got any Sundara but that is not expected until the end of May. If I did it is the tulip colorway since that is all that was left. Purchased two skeins since I figured I would never get any more.


Socks That Rock:
Top row: lw& mw knitters without borders, mw midsummer night, kawkaw, bleeding heart, gypsum, prove it all night and ruby slippers

Bottom row: lw muckity muck, lw lenore, mw walking on the wild tide, seal rock, pop rocks, dragon dance, fire bird and sam n'ella.











Yarn Stash

I have a lot of different types of sock yarns, worsted weight and cottons of all weights.
