5k Dash

I am getting ready for the 5K dash knit/spin along. It starts on the 27th of May and goes until August 15th. I am really hoping that I can finish knitting and spinning 5468 yards of fiber by then. So far I have my Evenstar shawl otn that will count if I finish it in time, also spinning up fiber. Tour de fleece also runs in that time frame so that should help my yardage.

Also exciting news I am going to Sock Summit and have 4 classes. I am so happy. Can't wait.

Sock Summit

All signed up for Sock Summit 2011. Yippee!!!! 4 classes.

Mad for Plaid on Thursday afternoon
Spinning for Painted Socks Saturday afternoon
Crystal heels on Sunday 11:00
Paint Your Toes Sunday afternoon

I just can't wait. This is going to be so much fun.

Now on the diet front, not losing not gaining just staying the same. Really need to find my diet mojo again. Every time I think I am doing right, I lose the mojo and go wrong.
