Wow sorry I skipped so many days. I just didn't have anything I wanted to show. Maybe I need to knit faster. I made these on Monday. I tried to take a picture of them yesterday but the light was just horrid. Lets see if we can get back on track now. I have been working on the totoro as well and have almost all the bits and pieces done so I can assemble it.
I have some thoughts on shawls. In the mornings it's starting to be a little cool but later in the day it's warm. So I dress in a shot sleeve shirt and just want to cover my arms between the end of my sleeve and my elbow. I have been making many of my shawls out of one skein of sock yarn. I'm a big girl so, wile these are interesting, they aren't really shawls but scarves. The cover my shoulders but end where my sleeves do so they aren't really helpful. Now they would be toasty under a coat or fashionable artfully arranged around my neck but right now that's not what I'm looking for. I need think more about the yarn I buy so I have a project in mind and can get a decent size shawl out of it. I also think I have to pay attention more when I pick patterns and look at the size instead of just the design. Not that you wanted a lecture on shawl but I have been thinking about it since the weather is getting just a touch cooler.
Let's see, what did I do over the weekend? On Saturday I caught up on my kdrama. It's Okay, That's Love was a very "heavy" (for lack of a better word) episode. We knew it was coming for a wile but it was still a little hard to watch. It was so sad that it kind of colored all the other shows I watched. Surplus Princess wasn't a "sad" episode but it wasn't quite as light and funny as usual and Plus 9 Boys is about bad luck so that didn't help. Both of those might not have been so bad if I hadn't watched a sad show first. It's okay... ends this week so we'll see how it goes. On Sunday I played WOW so I did my charity knitting on Monday, wile I watched podcasts. It was fun to see that Kimberly, The Giving Flower, had a new episode out. Hopefully she will be able to make podcasts on a regular basis now. I got caught up on all my regular shows so today will be a WOW day.
Part of the problem I'm having with posting is getting used to my husband's new schedule. It's not a bad schedule just different and it will take us a week or so to get used to it. Other than that it's just been rainy. I'm going try to get back to exercising regularly but that's difficult when the sky is dripping. I did get another application to the YMCA and I plan to turn it in on Friday so that could help when the weather gets cold. Two steps forward one step backwards. There is forward progress but it's slow. Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow with some sock insights.
