It’s been a while, huh.  Well I’ve been dealing with annoying people in my life and though there has been some knitting, there has been more thinking about knitting than actual knitting.  This mind knitting is great for work breaks, commercial breaks, standing in like at the bank breaks. 

For example: I’ve decided to knit myself the Central Park Hoodie.  I know.  I said I never would since I’m a big kid.  But I found a steal on the yarn (Valley Yarns Northampton) and have seen others make it in this yarn on Ravelry.  I’m going to buy the color card and a skein to play with.  I think it’s pretty comparable to Patons Classic Merino which I love.    

I bought a new vanity table.  It’s so white and clean.  Very nice.  Oh, and mom made matching curtains and recovered my vanity seat in camo.  It’s like sleeping in a blind. *   

I bought a new cell phone.  Sony Ericson Walkman.  I love it.  it’s so pretty.  Even made it it’s own sock!  *  

My fun purchase of a ball winder has made my life so easy.*    

Sista Slimdown is starting next weekend.  We’ll take starting weights, and measurements.  I’m going to keep track at how long I bike for and at what speed to figure out the miles, and my new phone keeps track of steps so I’ll record that.  Every week we’ll weigh and measure again.  And I get to use my cute new tape measure that looks like a dinosaur*
