Also true, I'm afraid

Now maybe I should get back to work, eh?

This is true.

Now to go back to my sweater.

Gasp!

Oh my yarny god.

What I wouldn't do for an unlimited yarn budget right about now.

Knitterpalooza the 2nd

We have yet to get the weather to fully cooperate (last year it was unseasonably cold, this year a constant deluge of rain) but hanging out with knitters is always a good time! Unlike some people I opted not to go on the yarn "swim" (can't call it a crawl in that weather!) since they were the shops I can visit any time I want (last year, since we drove all the way out to Lansing, it was a different story!) If the weather had been better I probably would have done a little shopping anyway, but I digress.

It was a great time again, even though I left part of my pattern at home and ended up with a lot of damp stuff (most of all me). Can't wait until next year!

I am so sick of rain!

Just sayin'.

Knit Simple Holiday Preview is up!

And I received my contributor copy today! You can see my sweater design here in the preview (the pink girl's sweater) or check out Emma modeling it before I sent it off:

Knitting and Shopping

Behold a sneak peek of this design, in Louet Bonnie-- I've been working on it in snatches when I need a break from tech editing. Emma approves of the way the yarn works up in "rainbow order" (she does EVERYTHING in rainbow order, and has since she was 3).

Shopping has been another break time activity. The other day I bought a noisy new hip scarf for the bellydancing class I'm starting next week...

And yesterday I got a new Namaste Malibu bag, which I've been coveting.

In the spirit of being less of a lazy slob, I've been making a good effort and getting more exercise lately. I started a power yoga class on Monday (silly me, it's not nearly as easy as regular yoga) and I'm STILL sore. It certainly qualified as a workout though! I've been going for a walk every morning the past few weeks too. Hopefully I can keep it up!
