Where I've been.....

Where have I been? Well I was knitting away so much that I knitted myself sick. I knew that if I didn't take a break from the needles I would stab myself with them and have one of my children hide my body in my stash. Believe me when I say that there is enough yarn there that I could, most likely, hide a few bodies for a period of time. My goal to reduce my stash has been thwarted by my work schedule and my workout schedule.

Recently I have taken an interest in becoming more physically fit. I go to the gym to meet my trainer 3 times a week and I go to boxing for 4-6 hours a week. Obviously there isn't much time for knitting with this routine.

I did work on my daughter's Elizabeth Zimmerman sweater and only have a few inches left on the sleeves to do. In fact I knit one sleeve full length when it should have been 3/4 length so I will have to rip it back a bit. It's a little big on her but I expected that since she is very small for her age and I am knitting the sweater using a lady's pattern.

On Sunday I leave for Ottawa on another training course for work. I will bring my knitting with me just in case I have a moment to spare. Maybe I will start another pair of socks or something. In August I leave for Calgary to visit my sister and her family. Again, I will bring my knitting with me but we'll see if it gets pulled out of the bag.

Summer has begun!!! Now if it could just stop raining for a few minutes it would be great!!!!!
