My mojo may be returning. Hopefully. I think the weather change to fall really helped. I made that hat that I post a few weeks ago and have since made myself a simple pair of fingerless mitts and have made a pair for my husband. I am about to start a messy bun hat (I really hate the looks of those…) for my sister. She doesn’t know it, though. I don’t think I am going to follow a pattern, I am using some leftover yarn that I
had, cast on 80, and will see what happens. I may also start the swatch for my cardigan, but haven’t decided yet. I still have a scarf, socks, and shawl to finish. I’ll get to that eventually. I hope. I just purchased some yarn and needles this weekend, too, to make mittens for my nephews. Are you seeing a trend?
In the mean time, I am trying to find a retreat for my mother and I to possibly attend. The difficulty there, though, is that she doesn’t yarn. She likes to sew and would like to learn new techniques regarding that, while I can take knitting classes. It doesn’t really look like there are many that have both, so that might end up being a pipe dream.
Non knitting news:
I am back to calorie counting. I started 15 days ago and am down 4.2 lbs. so far. I have ~75 lbs to go or so. Maybe I’ll get there. Even if I don’t get to the weight I want, just thinner would be nice. The husband is eating better, too, which helps. We have cut soda pretty much completely.
What’s new with you?
