A few updates

Well, in the last two months I have lost 35 pounds. Not quite sure how. I haven't been working out, if anything I'm moving less due to issues with my left knee. I have been eating smaller portions or leaving food on my plate, which I never used to do. A month or so back I was getting nauseated after eating, no matter what I ate. That seems to have gone away, thank goodness.

I made some new recipes last week, but I really didn't like them. No fault of the recipes, just my personal taste.

Today I had hashbrowns with salsa, one of my favorite breakfasts. I put some spanish rice ingredients in the crock pot and have that cooking.

I've been doing some knitting, mostly dishcloths. When I finish the two I have on the needles, I plan on starting a sweater! Probably a bit ambitious for me right now, but I want to try anyway. It's the Central Park Hoodie, which is supposed to be a good first sweater. We'll see.

Amazing knitter

I'm on Ravelry, which is a must for anyone who knits. You have to be a member to view items, so I can't link directly. But I found this amazing knitter, username Ishi. From her project notes, she is amazing fast knitter and amazingly good. I've already favorited some of her projects. One is an intarsia yoke sweater called Poeme, a lace shawl called Lattice Lace Wrap that she did in a week. Wow, when I grow up, I wanna knit like she does!

Yarn Harlot in Portland!

I went to the Yarn Harlot's tour and got this great button!

It was a good time and free. I've never seen so many people knitting before. And wearing such gorgeous knitted things!

Stephanie McPhee is very funny. There was laughter and a song that you had to be there to appreciate. If you ever get to listen to her speak, do so. It's well worth it.
