Today Is The Day

It's really no surprise (if you can tell by the content, or lack thereof, in this blog) I haven't been running much lately. Like not at all. I can still run a decent 5km without dying, but my distance went from an easy 15km back down to an easy 5km.

Today is the day that all changes.

I need to find a way to make myself accountable, so I'm putting it in writing.

Today I begin my quest to train for another half marathon (21.1km). I'm hoping hubby will join me, however, if he doesn't that won't make or break my plan.

Wish me luck.

Knits, etc ...

Good morning and happy Tuesday!

Just a quick post update about my recent knits.

My co-workers are having a baby girl in January and her name will Lydia. I work with the woman of the co-worker couple, Amanda, she's a fantastic lady. She loves Beetlejuice, skulls, black and red and animals. So I decided to knit baby items to suit her likes.

My most recent FO is a cowl for my Mom for xmas. I used Lion Brand Heartland in “Hot Springs”. It is actually one of the better acrylics I’ve knit with. Very soft and not splitty at all. I don’t know that I’ve used any of the Lion Brand products before, but I can say I’ll likely use this one again. The pattern is Harvest Loop.

My newest knit is a Honey Cowl for my friend who has a birthday coming up. I'm about halfway finished, but don't have any decent pictures to share. This is the third time I've knit this pattern. It's a really great cowl. I'm using Wandering Cat Yarns Barn Cat in Wicked Nights.
