Well, things were going great until early on in the month. I was starting to re-introduce stairs during my lunch break when I felt something twinge in my left ankle. The twinge wasn't bad enough to keep me from the gym, so I worked through minor discomfort through the week. Week 2 rolled on and the twinge was now noticable and I started to limp ( Read more... )

I keep on forgetting that Izzy is still a kitten. She's gone on a growth spurt in the month that I've had her: I've caught her stretched out doagonally on the sofa and the tips of her paws touch one end of a cushion and the end of her tail hangs off the other end.

1. Have made absolutely no headway with co-worker's baby blanket.

2. This is because I'm nearly 95% done with friend's shawl! I love this pattern; I have a really pretty peacock blue yarn that this would look gorgeous in. I did goof up a few rows, but that proves that I'm not allowed to gossip and crochet while attempting to read a pattern all ( Read more... )
