starting again.

I am having one of those years. I seem to be stopping and restarting my life over and over again. I can't seem to get the diet going. I really need to get the diet going again. I do okay for a day or two and then just blow it. I have decided today that I am at my biggest (I have been bigger) and am tired of being this way. Signed up for Weight Watchers online since I don't like going to meeting anymore. Maybe when I lose weight, I will go back to meetings, but for now online will have to do. I am giving myself 3 months and if I don't seem any significant weight loss, I will try something else.

I need to start working out again. I am going to start by riding a bike/stationary bike until my ankle gets better and then walking, lifting weights. This should help with the weight loss and toning that I desperately need.

 I also need to stop buying yarn, fiber and all the stuff that goes with that. I just purchased a Wooley Winder for my Traveler. I didn't need it, just wanted it. No more clubs, I don't need anymore fiber or yarn. I think I am really close to SABLE (stash acquisition beyond life expectancy) and that is not a good thing. I say all this, but I am going to Nashville in June/July for Super Summer Knittogether. There will be a vender show with some great indi dyers. I love indi dyers. UGH!!!!

WIPs:  Traveling Sweater by Karen Alfke out of Bluemoon Fiber Arts Woobu in the colorway Bittersweet.

FOs: Greta the Captivating Cat by Rebecca Danger

Possibilites: Not sure what is next for knitting.

Spinning: Spinning second 2oz of of hand dyed Merino-Sparkle blend 65/35 in the coloway Cathedral. I purchased this fiber at Sock Summit 2011 and spun the first 2oz on my wheel and spindles. The second 2oz seemed to have felted together more so I carded it on hand cards. I broke up the variegation and am spinning it like a gradient. My plan is to 2 ply it for a fingering weight.

Acquisitions: Highland Handmades shetland wool in the colorway As You Wish
