knitting woes and blissful moments
so my fingerless mitts look a bit crazy in the ribbing, but I am finally beginning to get the hang of it. I'm feeling a lot better about knitting in the round between the mitts that I'm working on and the hat that I started. Tonight or tomorrow I am going to try and add a new color to the hat.
I'm nervous, but feel like it won't be too horrible

Casting on!
So I am a new knitter. I have done several scarves, but never progressed out of the scarf zone.
Last night I went to a local "Stitch and Bitch" meetup and got some magnificent help from a group of awesome women who helped me get started on my first highly ambitious project!
Ok, you may not think that some fingerless mitts are ambitious, but seeing as I have completed only scarves.... this is truly terrifying.
I hit a bunch of snags right away (of course) but after some great guidance last night and some major rescues today, I think I am well on my way. I will post as this progresses.
I also finished another scarf today and have another scarf cast on. I bought TONS of yarn last year when I wanted to learn to knit, and it's been collecting dust in a wicker basket since then. I am trying to use up all of this yard (most of which I threw out the labels for and really had no plan of action as to what I would do with them)
I have since learned the following.
Always save my labels.
Don't buy yarn unless I have a project in mind.
One size needle most definitely does not fit all.
Not all needles are made alike.
Buy enough yarn to actually finish your project.
Wish me luck!

it's noisy....
it was late, and I didn't put much effort into it... I was really sleepy.

I love my pookie bear!

Day 17 - Biggest Loser
D and I love to watch "The Biggest Loser". It really helps motivate us to work our butts off to reach our goals. (D is on the elliptical in the background) I did my cardio earlier today and have been going to a personal trainer. That guy totally kicked the crap out of me yesterday and I love him for it.
I can't wait to see what happens when my personal trainer time is up in December. I think I'll be a whole different person!

Day 16 - the evil and mighty acorn!
I have to do evil acorn pics now and then.
But really I was doing this for a group called "Take a Class with Dave and Dave". It's a little online group that puts out totally optional assignments every week in order to challenge us and develop our skills in photography. This was for an assignment called "shadows"
instead of lighting photos to get rid of shadows, we were to light the photo to include shadows or even to specifically focus on the shadows....
