A Pleasant Surprise

On a somewhat nervous lark, I decided to get on the scale this morning. Haven't done that for a while and wasn't feeling particularly optimistic since I haven't exactly been a model of dieting perfection. I have cut out the night-time snacking for the most part and tried to manage portions better, so obviously not the kind of diligence that would lead anyone to think I've lost 18 pounds since early summer!!! What a (wonderful) surprise!

I blocked the Adamas shawl and the Miriam Felton Foliage shawl that have been laying around just waiting to be blocked. They are ready to pull the wires and pins out of and wear! I'm really looking forward to actually wearing something I've made.

New Experience

I'm off on another new experience - BLOGGING!!! I've been a singer most of my life (the "Soprano" part above) and a knitter for the last 6 or 7 years ( the "Knits" part). I love my family and all things music, books and craft! I'm hoping to turn this into a place to record parts of all of that.

Currently on the needles: a cable scarf, several lace shawls and a couple cardigan sweaters.
