What's Happening?
I'm so sorry it's been so long since I have posted. I started a new job and moved to a new house. So, life became a little too busy. But, I've missed my blog, so I'm back just in time for spring.
Since I last posted I lost 20#. How? Weight Watchers Points Plus Online, Zumba class once a week, and beginner's ballet.
What's off my sticks?
The photo above is a pic of the socks that I knitted for my sister's Christmas present ...
Here's a blanket I knitted for the den. I think that my Shih-Tzu, Daisy likes it the best.
Here's a monster family I knitted for a friend of mine. She just added a second set of twin boys to her family!
Knitting News
I found a new knitting book I love written by Nancy Epstein. She gives you tons of patterns for knitting blocks and explains how to take the blocks to make bigger projects such as blankets, scarves, wraps, bags, etc.
