my 2nd attempt at my 1st post!

Ok, so I lost my first post........ I got this far...which I find amazing! Anyway welcome to my blog. I hope you will find it entertaining and knowledge base rich (I guess it all depends on what you're looking for). Hmm, if you're into knitting, good-- if you're into running good! if you're into both! allright!! Just plain breathing is a bonus activity! I say that not too lightly today. I humbly called the pulmologist and begged for some Pred and a z-pack today..... Asthma exacerbation. I went for a run on Sunday...felt pretty good, too! Should have known, now I'm grounded! Oh well! I'm gonna go out tomorrow though (tee hee! Pred makes my breathing really good while running!). So, I will do some peaceful and meaningful Pilates tonight. and then I will Knit. I got two projects going right now......... some socks, my first project using two circular needles... have to say I like the method... no gaps... looks uniform and I got a cardi going from the fall '06 issue of Knitscene. Making that out of Debbie Bliss Aran Tweed.... it's got some cable action going on. the socks are out of this German yarn that has jojoba and aloe in it.... absolutely yummy! I will post some pics over the weekend.

This cardi is coming out nicely, if I can say so myself. They use a bright, almost kelly green yarn in the mag issue, the color of the Debbie Bliss yarn I have is like a pumpkin color. I really like it! The pattern itself is easy to memorize.

FUN STUFF!

Just for kicks and giggles
