Starting again

I am feeling so good right now. I no longer feel like I am on a diet, so hopefully I have finally turned the corner again and will be losing weight and exercising better. I didn't gain back as much as I thought I had so that is also a plus in my book.

On the knitting front: finished slanted gretel tee out of the Fall 2009 Interweave Knits. Liked the pattern, but not the loose collar, but I am not going to tink it back to fix. I do need to lose some more weight before it really fits, but that is how I wanted it.
Not sure what I will be doing next. I do have two pairs of socks on the needles right now. Nancy Bush's mystery sock and Sottopassaggio. Not really happy with either right now, but don't want to put too many projects on the needles because it will drive me crazy. Oh well nothing new there.

Hello again



Another month, another dissapointing weight loss (gain that is). Going up and not down is very frustrating, but I am not going to give up. I will push forward and start this trip again.


Knitting has been much better. I started and finished my Girasole last month. Totally love how it turned out. MMMM Malabrigo worsted weight.









Also started and finished Laporte Avenue Tote. Cascade Eco Wool. Felted like a dream and I love using this as my purse. Couldn't find a buckle I liked, but did find a great pendant, so that is what I went with.








Sock front has been very slow. Didn't even make any last month, started a pair and sent it to the frog pond. Now doing the SKA mystery sock by Nancy Bush with Sundara Tulip. Also started Sottopassaggio by Yarnissima in Madalinetosh sock.
