Weigh In Tuesday

So last week I didn't post how weigh in went. It actually wasn't too bad, however, I am getting very discuraged and decided not to go back to weight watchers for a while. I am still going to try to lose weight its just the healthy thing to do, I just need to do it at home for a while. I will still weigh in on Tuesdays just at home. So now I have to adjust to the fact that I am now dealing with a new scale. So that is my excuse this week! But next week no excusses.
About my sweater I think I need to take out the first sleeve because as I knit my stitch gauge loosened up therefor, my final inches are now differant. Frustrating but fixable. I need to figure out my new gauge and then add on stitches for that gauge.
I had my piano tunned yesterday, the man who tunes it is very talented he is blind and is amazing at what he does. He aged my piano to 1903 due to style, material, and company. He said it had been completly refurbished probably sometime in the 70's. That was exciting.

Sweater Progress

My seamless cardigan is going very well it is a little differant than normal, most cardigans are in 5 pieces, back, left front, right front and 2 sleeves, I am making this in one piece so there will not be any seems. Here are some pictures of my progress.

Annie, Brownies and sweater progress

Last week I decided to thaw some of April's brownies that she had made at school and then I left to go make soup at our Soup Kitchen at church. Meanwhile April came home and let Annie out of her kennel and went to go change clothes, not knowing I had brownies on the counter, which by the way were WAY back on the counter, so I thought they were safe. I have a English Springer, not a Wolfhound! So April came out to find an empty plate with brownie crumbs and a guilty looking Annie. She couldn't get a hold of me , my phone won't ring in the basment at church or Pat, so she call the vet and made an appointment, then called Casey, he can always calm her down, she finally got me and I came home, the Dr. said to watch her but she probably didn't get enough to hurt her, she has seemed fine so it was just a scare. I still can't figure out how she reached her paw all that way to grap the plate and pull it forward.

Weigh In Tuesday

Umm, so I didn't go to weigh in today, oh well that happens, I did do my 30 min of exersice though. I will work harder this week. I have been putting in alot of time on my new sweater, I will post a picture of the progress soon.

New Project

Since this yarnaholic dosen't have enough yarn I bought some more the other day! I have decide to desigh a cardigan for my self. I haven't made something for me in a while. I bought Universal Yarn's Classic Worsted LP, it is a varigated yarn in brown tones light to dark, I am going to border it in my brown Encore that I have left over from something, (see I do use some of my leftovers) I am excited to get started.

Tuesday Weigh In

In 7 days we have had in the house, Pizza, unbeilievable brownies (2batches), Chocolate bark w/crasins and almonds, Huge Peanutbutter cookies dipped in tempered chocolate, checkerboard cookies, spritzs cookies, and a Cream Pie. As I said some how I was down .4 Woo Hoo for me!

Do you remember when...

Yesterday I drove down to Salem and spent the day with my cousin Jackie. I enjoy spending time with her, we have so many memories of times long ago, and I can learn alot about my heritage from her, I have 2 large boxes of pictures from the early 1900s and she enjoys trying to figure out where it was taken and what relative it might be, she usualy knows fairly quickly. She took me to Mcleay Or. for lunch a few miles east of town, it looked like something out of the old west, very quaint and the restaurant was full of old beams and antiques. We had a great time and when we got back to her house she gave me a jar her grandfather (my great grandfather) had brought over from Scotland in the late 1800s that he kept his pipes in. I was speechless. It was very special that she wanted me to have it. It now has a home on my piano next to his journal from 1883, and his ledger from 1903. I was a beautiful day clear blue skys and I think it got up to 60!
