Moon

Well just had to try to get a great picture of the moon tonight. It is so pretty just wish I had used a "real" camera not the iPhone camera, but so glad I have iPhone cause I don't usually have a camera on my person.

Wow have I been bad

Well I did have every intention on doing a picture every day, but it is really hard to decided what to take a picture of. I mean I could take a picture of my knitting every day all the changes that I did on a project. I could take pictures of the weather, but who wants to keep seeing snow and ice fog every day. I know I don't want to. Then there are pictures of the family, but we don't change all that much and I think Michael would have gotten really tired of me putting a camera in his face. He is after all 17yrs and doesn't like his picture taken. So I guess it will be a every few days of finished projects and new snow fall or the Hawaiian vacation that is coming up very quickly.

Today's picture is of a pair of fingerless gloves I finished this morning. Adjusted the pattern from fingered gloves so they were fun.













Now working on a entrelac scarf. I have made this scarf before so it is a quick knit for easy gifts. Love Noro Silk Garden.

Colonnade

Finished shawl last night. Not sure if I like the
colors together, but like thte pattern. Still have to block it. Now have to decide what to start next or maybe what to finish.

This morning there was a moose in the front yard, but couldn't get a good pic of it. Shoot!!!

Krok Socks

These were so much fun to crochet and very fast. finished one last night and had to do only two rows this morning to complete the other.

I plyed yarn

I Navajo plied yarn!!! Can't believe I did it on the first try. Love how it turned out. So now need to get a more consistant twist, but for right now I am very very happy!!!!

Well got a haircut today. Not too sure about, but it is better than the last one. Except for the fact that the hairdresser never listens to me. I don't go for "big" hair and she does it to me every time. I wore my hat until it calmed back down.

spinning crazy

 Last night I couldn't sleep and I spun up 3 oz silk and merino in an orange colorway. When the spin is set I will take a picture of it. Also spun up some odds and ends. My next spinning fiber is Corriedale from  http://www.dyakcraft.com/. I can't wait to try it out. Will probably do that tomorrow after getting my hair cut.

Weighed in today and had a 1.6 pound loss. Lost weight two weeks in a row!!! Time to throw a party!!!! LOL. Also second week of exercise. Like it so far.

DH socks

Opps forgot to take a picture yesterday. Well today's picture is Robbie's birthday socks. I did the second sock in three days. Boy do my fingers hurt!!!!

yarn

My homespun all plied up. Not the greatest in the world, but I am very happy with it. now need to save my money and buy my own spinning wheel.

Puppy

My son's new puppy. He is so small and so cute and so tired!!! His name is Tipsy and he is about 7 weeks old.

what's u[

Nuts

Boy this is harder than I thought. Trying to come up with a different picture every day. So tonight is my favorite nuts Chipotle Cashews from Safeway. I just love them. Spicey and salty and just plain good.

Iphone

I decided to have a little fun with the phone tonight and take a screen shot of my phone. What does yours look like?

Pretty Yarn

I received this pretty yarn last night from Ginny as a prize for Christmas Knitting. Love it. The purples are so rich. Not sure what I am going to make with it yet, but I will be doing it soon.

Weighed in today and had a pound loss. :-) Very happy with that. Any loss is a good loss.

Baby Surprise Jacket

All done, well almost just need buttons. I really enjoyed knitting this and now understand why this is a popular pattern. I did use the line by line instructions cause there is no way on this earth that I could have followed Elizabeth Zimmerman's instructions. I will be making more of these for the grandkids that have yet to be born. Not rushing that though. Not ready to be grandma, just ready to make baby sweaters.

Stash

Well today I spent the morning reworking my yarn stash. Wow found a lot of sock yarn. If I knitted up all of that sock yarn I wouldn't need to buy any socks for quite a while.  I also found out that I did decrease my yardage last year. Need to shop my stash this year and make lots and lots of socks. Good thing I like to knit them. LOL!!!

Broken heating pipe.

Man do I hate it when you run out of fuel late at night, freeze the heating pipe upstairs and find a broken pipe. Then you thank God that your still frozen up so that your expensive treadmill didn't get flooded. This is what I did this weekend. Found broken pipe tonight. Still don't have heat upstairs, but have electric heaters keeping the upstairs warm. Did you know that the call out fee for fuel oil is 75.00?!!!!

Birthday

Today is my 44th birthday. Very cold outside, but we went to the movies. Saw Sherlock. If you haven't seen it you should. It is a very good movie with funny parts and good action parts too. I highly recommend this movie with two thumbs up!!!! LOL.

But man I couldn't believe the prices for popcorn and soda/bottle water. I paid 6.00 for a small unbuttered popcorn and 4.50 for a large bottled water. Way too much.

Spinning triumph

My first spinning triumph today. I am so very happy. It isn't the best or tightest spin, but I finally got the fiber to draft onto the bobbin. Success. Love this Ashford Traveller. Will have to look into getting my own. This one is a rental from A Weaver's Yarn. Thanks Susan for letting me come by today, even though she was closed for inventory to exchange wheels.

365 picture

I have decided to take a picture every day for the next year and blog about it. So many other bloggers are doing this so I know that it is a bit redundant, but it sounds like so much fun.

First picture is of me so that I can see how much weight I will have lost by the time I am done with the year. My goal is to lose at least 60 pounds by December 31, 2010. I am really hoping that I can get it done.
