I’m down 3 point something pounds this week, with a total of 6.8. I feel great about it. This week’s pretty decent loss makes up for last week’s not-so-good loss. It all evens out, which is what I suspected would happen. I actually worked out to an exercise dvd yesterday (The Biggest Loser Cardio Burn). I am very, very sore today. There was a lot of lunges and squats on it and I can feel it today. But, it’s all good. I think I’ll try and do it again tomorrow.
In knitting news: I finished the body of the February Lady Sweater yesterday. I could have made it a little longer, though I’m hoping that I can block it so that it gets to a length that I like. If it doesn’t, it’s just fine. I’ll start on the sleeves today. I would love for it to be done next week.
I’m also still dealing with the scarf for my coworker. I have frogged this thing at least 7 times. I really would like to do a rib, but every one that I’ve tried curls in. I’ve done garter stitch edges and I’ve messed around with the kind of rib (3×2, 4×1, 2×2). So, now I’m just doing a garter stitch scarf. Very boring, but at least there’s stripes. I would have loved to do a Harry Potter-ish striped scarf, but that requires twice the amount of yarn I have, plus it would take twice the amount of time. I think my coworker will be happy, no matter what, I just need to get this thing done.
I also placed an order from an etsy seller for some yarn for socks for my sister. The etsy store states and orders are mailed in 3 business days. It’s been 8 business days and there’s been no mention of my yarn being mailed. I’m pissed. I’ve contacted her through etsy twice and emailed her once. The biggest red flag is that when I placed my order, there were about 5 other skeins of yarn for sale. Now, there is nothing in her shop and my order is the only one placed since November. She obviously took everything down from the shop. I hope that she had sold the yarn somewhere else and forgot to take it off her etsy shop and is getting some dyed for me. A little communication would be nice. I would totally understand and be willing to wait if she bothered to contact me and explain things.
Lazy day today and tomorrow! I’m so glad. I had been having a hard time sleeping and thought that maybe it was time to take a day off from work to clear my head. I think tomorrow will be just the thing I need.
