Knitting catch up

well I have been a busy girl. This week I finished Mystery shetland Pi shawl and Qiviut Cowl. I started Ishbel shawl. Loving these so much. qiviut cowl and mystery shetland pi shawl, only problem is that I haven't figured out how to post pictures from flickr since they changed. the cowl is actually purple not blue.

On the diet front, things are going very slowly, but I am still losing so that is a good thing.

Anniversary

Finished this hat in one evening. So much fun. It is Unoriginal Hat by Stephie-Pearl McPhee knit with Malabrigo Aquarella on size 11 needles.

I'm Back

I am back again. I have been a busy little knitter. I have finished three pairs of great socks this month.

Cotty by Irishgirlieknits. Love the pattern a lot. I did do them toe up so the heel is a little different, but that is okay with me.

Lace and Cable by Wendy Johnson out of STR mw Dragon Dance. Loved these socks and did them 2 at a time.

These are Hermiones everday socks by Erica Lueder out of STR lw Covelite. These are going to be my go to socks. They are fast and so much fun.


On the weight loss front I have found my mojo again. I have been able to lose 6.6 pounds in two weeks. So very happy about that. I am plugging along and enjoying this so far.

long time no write

Wow long time no write. Haven't been finishing things as well as I should be. Did finish a pair of vanilla socks for hubby last week and he likes them, so that is a good thing. Also have finished a pair of socks for me, but didn't take a picture of them. Leaf pattern turned out great on them. Will take pic after they are washed.

OTN: Barcelona socks out of handmaiden cashbah sock in safari. Love cashbah so soft and squooshy.
Brandywine Shawl out of Malabrigo sock. Can't remember colorway but it is a very dark and beautiful blue.

On the diet scene, not so good. Need to get my mojo back. Hoping that I can real soon.

No picture

I have no picture tonight, but thought that I would write anyway. Had a great program week this week. Had a loss of 3.2 pounds so I am very happy about that. Feeling better about a lot of things in my life. Ankle is finally getting better. I am able to workout again and I know that it helps my attitude. I am not going to let myself get down, I am going to be okay at the end of it all.
