Just popping in here to say hi to you all and wish you a wonderful weekend. Wow, didn’t that week go by fast? No? well it sure did for us. I’m happy to say Kristen’s first week back at school went really well. She did eventually see a couple of kids from her other school AND she saw a teacher from there too, the teacher must have transferred schools! She will apparently be Kristen’s new QUEST teacher once classes start.
So what have I been doing all week? I’d like to say I’ve been a cleaning fiend and the house is all spic and span, but that would be a big fat lie! I’ve been just easing myself back into a daily routine and in between that I’ve been knitting – ALOT! ;-) I can’t help it, it’s what I love to do.
A few weeks ago I knitted some things for my Etsy shop, I haven’t listed them yet because they are Fall/Winter items and it just seems way too hot to post about them. Here’s some fingerless mittens that I will be listing. I love the pink ones with the fluffy edging :-)
I’ve also knitted some chunky cowls and a fluffy pink scarf. I’ll hopefully get them listed in the next week or so (despite the heat we are still getting here, I’m sure it’s cooling down a little for some of you?)
So, since I have a few knits ready for my Etsy shop I turned to knitting for me this past week. I’ve also posted to my knitting blog but if you haven’t been over there (and you probably haven’t because I don’t have it linked to on this blog!) here’s a picture of my latest knit for ME!
I love how this top turned out (I’ll probably wear it on the shoulders instead of off like in the photo) but I can’t help think that it makes me look fat!! Ha ha, yes I know you’ll be thinking I’m crazy, but truth be told, I’ve gained back the 10lbs I lost over the beginning of summer (all around my middle) . . . . and I can feel it!
I ‘m happy to say I’ve started walking each morning again though, hopefully it will help me lose a little and start to feel a bit more energetic (I get to feeling so lazy and sluggish over the summer months). I’ll link up to my knitting blog on the left hand side – head over there if you’d like to see more. I’ve also knitted a little ‘nugget’ for Kristen this week and am working on a ‘Monster’ just for me (more about that when I’m finished it) ;-)
What are you all up to this weekend? I hope it’s a great one!

The fingerless gloves are great! So cute with the trim! I rarely see them, but I have to say, I love the gloves without the fingers, especially for when I go into NYC - I can access things easily, AND not flash my rings at people.
The sweater you knit is beautiful! What an amazing talented and (Hello! SO not fat) woman you are. You are absolutely beautiful! Have a great weekend!
Everything you made is absolutely beautiful. I am going to definitely check out the gloves when you list them. I love the sweater, too. You look so pretty in it and definitely NOT fat! Keep up the great work! And...good for you for walking, I need to get my bum going!
xoxo

OH my goodness, you are so talented!! Love all your knit goodies.
I know what you mean about the spare tire around the middle or muffin top some call it. I hate it! I am getting into walking again. It was too hot there for awhile.
Going to head over to your Etsy shop!

Hey Denise:) I love the sweater! My gosh you're so talented. I wish I could do something like that and be able to sell them too.
P.S. That sweater doesn't make you look fat.
