Here is a shawl that I made for one of my sisters.  This is the Eva's Shawl pattern (free on Ravelry).  I have made this pattern many times and really like it. 

Yesterday was Kdrama day.  I finally finished the last two episodes of "Shut up and lets go" (or "Shut up Flower Boy Band").  It's about a group of high school boys in a band and how they deal with loss, love, music, and just growing up. Of course there is a love triangle (I have not seen a Kdrama that doesn't have one).  A coming of age/ slice of life story.  When I saw the first episode I hated those bratty boys but the rule of Kdrama is you need to watch three episodes before you decide.  I will warn you the second episode throws you a serious curve ball. By the end of the series I got a little weepy.  I'm not sure it will make it into my top 3 but it was better than the first episode made it seem. 

My husband has watched Kdrama with me before, in fact he is the one who picked "Boys Over Flowers," but we hadn't see any in a wile and even though we are kind of in the middle of "Faith" I wanted to see something else.  So I had heard that "I hear your voice" was good so I wanted to try it.  We sat down to watch and it felt like we were thrown into the middle of the story, which happens sometimes and you pick up the pieces of the story as you go along.  It was harder than usual to understand and my husband kept saying it wasn't making sense and he didn't understand why people liked it.  There were flashbacks which was weird and so I planed to ask my Kdrama group on Ravelry if it was a second part to something else.  Finally were almost done with the episode and my husband makes the comment "this seems like the last episode" I told him to check and sure enough Hulu had played the last episode not the first.  I was so frustrated.  I'll watch it some time but it is now at the bottom of my list. 

Next Kdrama day I will either go back to "Running Man" or finish up some other series I was in the middle of.  Today is a WOW day.  It's also a cleaning day because I spent two hours on the phone with my sister and didn't get anything done.  It's not her fault, If I had said I needed to get off the phone she would have understood.  I just have a lot to make up for today now.

I got one ball finished in the granny baby blanket.  I also got the colors set up to make the monsters for my daughters class.  Being a WOW day I won't get much done but it's ready if I get around to it.

I found a Kpop song by that I think may help me work out once the weather gets to cold to go outside. It's "Bar Bar Bar" by Crayon Pop.  I don't like the song particularly but they do a lot of jumping in that three minute song so I can't see how if I follow their moves I won't lose a little weight.  I told my plan to my family and my husband watched the video like it was a train wreck an d basically said "if it gets stuck in my head you are in trouble." My daughter said if I did that I had to keep the blinds closed.  Thanks for your confidence in me kid.  Can you tell my family loves me? :)
