I'm Back!

I have been MIA for a few weeks. Hope someone missed me :) As I alluded to in an earlier post, I moved from Chicago to Berea, KY. It's just a temporary move (about a year), but it's still been a rough transition. I miss Chicago and my friends there. I sort of hate driving so much (I commute about 40 minutes to work each way). Although the time isn't horrible, it cuts into my knitting time!! haha. Anyway, I wanted to check in to let you all know that I am alive.

On the knitting front, I finished two projects this weekend, and casted on another! I finished my mom's birthday present (the vesper shirt I talked about earlier) and my dad's father's day socks (okay, so those were just a little late!). I am so happy to have those projects done, and everyone loved them! I will get FO pictures soon. I also casted on another ishbel. This is also in malabrigo sock, but in a gorgeous new arbol colorway. It has beautiful shades of gold, red, brown, and green. It's the perfect fall colorway, in my opinion! Pics to come of those, soon!

On yet another topic, I am setting a new weightloss goal for myself!! My 10-year high school reunion is Thanksgiving weekend and I want to lose some weight for it. In reality I need to lose a lot of weight (I could stand to lose at least 70 pounds), but I am not going to go crazy and be unrealistic. I am following Weight Watchers (have been off and on for a while, just need to convince myself to stick to it), so I want to lose the weight in a healthy way. My goal is to lose about 1.5 pounds a week, for a total of 16.5 pounds by the reunion. I will be updating on here about my progress, so wish me luck!
