Progress

Posted on by ghotiindustries

In order to achieve more I have decided to get up earlier. This worked well yesterday morning. Today was not as successful, but I didn’t need to run this morning for my daily exercise, as I shall be walking home tonight.

I feel like my exercise regime has fallen off the rails a little what with the enforced rest from shin splints, but I’m looking into getting a bicycle so I’ll have a no impact workout when/if I need it in future.

I’ve been knitting up a storm for the past 2 weekends, making myself a fichu from this pattern to use as a scarf for this winter.

I’m using Lorna’s Laces Helen’s Lace in the Humboldt colourway.

This is what winding over a kilometer of yarn into a yarn cake looks like!

I have finished the body of the piece, and am about to begin knitting on the boarder.

Wish me luck!

How times change

Last night was the second time in as many months that I have been on the commute to/from the day job, checking my Twitter feed when I have found out about a major earthquake in a place of the world where I have family.

Just like the last time, everyone we know and love has been declared safe.

Wednesday already?

How do these things happen? The weekend was a big one which began with dinner out with friends, Saturday I was helping out my Mum, followed by dinner at our favourite restaurant, Sunday was a family luncheon with some out of town relatives, Monday I struggled through at work not feeling very well, and yesterday I received a delivery in the mail which I had been waiting for from Home of Poi.

Tonight we are out to the theatre, Thursday we have guests, Friday is out with friends again, and Sunday is the Niece’s ninth birthday party (nearly double digits!!!).

In between all of that we’ve had a broken washing machine (3 repairman visits and finally a new motor), and my Dad was in hospital for a few days after he decided life was a little boring and needed some spicing up! He’s home and safe now, and appreciated the flowers I sent him. There has also of course been sock knitting progress.

So, all in all, I don’t have any photos for you at the moment, I’ve been a bit busy to upload them. But they are on the way!

Just … let me take a little nap first …
