Life views

This is why I love living near the mountains. This is a view that I get sometimes on my way to work.

I had so much fun at Estes, especially because I was there with friends. I thought that the Vendor barn was a little bit less then I imagined, but maybe next year will be better, since I know what to expect.

WIPS

1. Still have not started the 2^nd sock of the Mablesock.
2. The bird is still in time out.
3. I am still in the gusset of the Hermione’s Everyday sock. I actually keep making mistakes with this sock. I didn’t do the heel in the pattern, because I didn’t realize I was supposed to, I had the SSK and K2 together mixed up, and I added one extra row of knit in the gusset. Oh well.
4. I finally was able to cast on the daybreak. Yeah! However, I have not been able to knit on this nearly as much as I want to. Life keeps getting in the way.

Purchases

1. I purchased 5 skeins from the Estes weekend. 2 were from Textiles a Mano, a skein of 1100 yards of fingering weight merino and a skein of Alpaca (so soft!). I also acquired a skein of lace weight from Lambspun and 2 skeins for a pair of socks from the Stitchin’ Den (the LYS in Estes).
2. I think that I signed up for a yarn club. We will see…

Queued

1. I added the citron for the lace weight from Lambspun which is in a violet color way.
2. I also added the Anemie as a possibility for the alpaca yarn that I purchased. I think that the yarn is a fingering weight.

FOs

1. I finished 3 preemie hats from my leftover Madeline Tosh Sock. I didn’t have enough yarn to do enough I-cord for the 3^rd hat to tie in a knot, but that is fine. I am going to the hospital next week. I wanted these 3 hats finished by then so that I can take a picture with all 3 together before they disappear. Mission accomplished!

Events

1. I came across another preemie hat project, Remembering Remy. I started making the preemie hats that I have been making because of Project Sweet Caroline. Now I am torn, I will still give the 5 hats that I just finished to Childrens, but the next ones I make I will send for the Remy project.

Healthy Steps

1. My goals this week are to take my lunch at least 3 times per week and to exercise 10 minutes a day. Last week I did take my lunch to work, this week not even one day. I still have not started exercising.

Spanish Lessons

1. I still have not finished lesson 8. I find it harder to do these lessons in good weather, because I want my windows open in the car. I do these lessons in the car on the way to or from work. The other problem is that I have just been too tired lately.
