Actually, that's not true. I have been knitting a lot! have finished the Kai-Mei socks from CookieA, and am now starting on a 2nd pair for the daughter of the recipient of the 1st pair. No pics. Yes, I know you can't tell if I actually made them if you don't have pics to oooh (or ugh) over, but I'll do a pair comp shot when I finish the second pair. Trust me when I say the lacy bit on the foot is a beast, and worked best for me using 3 yo instead of 4 on row 6. It's really loose with 4. I think it looks neater with 3. Of course, that could just be the way I knit :-)
Still working on the Baby Reefer Jacket from Cotton Knits For All Seasons for a friend. Should be done by now, but I forgot how boring stockinette can be, especially if you are knitting something that's only 4 inches wide. It's like a super long swatch, I hate swatches. Need some cables or something to break up the monotony. Unfortunately that's not in the pattern, but if I had thought of it before.................................hmmmmm..................................there are more babies coming...................................but do I want to make them something, that's the question......................
On the Furhman front, I have now lost a total of 28lbs since October 17th '09. Very happy! To see that, just as i was bemoaning how tired i was getting of vegetables, and that i wanted a bacon cheeseburger. That gives me the resolve to stick with it, and maybe go through with phase 2 - actually hit Pacers and buy a new pair of running shoes. I want to start running again. I think I may have lost enough weight to not feel so bad when I do it this time. Gotta give that some thought. When I was running with Coach Carla, I got to the point where it was physically uncomfortable for me to run sometimes. I feel better now, so I may be ready. I think as a reward I may have to knit something for me! New sweater? New socks? What to do, what to do.
