She's Here!

Let me introduce you to Dorothy, Dottie for short. My new to me loom. The first shows her on the Dining room table and the second with my warp chains ready to be dressed.

Tomorrow I will take the first big leap and dress my loom. the I will be weaving a sampler. I am using Harrisville Shetland in Bermuda Blue and Oatmeal.

In the food department I have had a little backslide. I haven't gained any weight back but have to get on the ball. I am weak in the planning department. I need to have more things available to eat at home so as not to be tempted. My exercise plan is to walk daily, lift weights Monday thru Saturday. I will work the upper MWF and lower TTHS.

I haven't knit much this week due to a visit from my Mom. So the plan for the week coming up is to finish a sock. Creating a pair and not another lonely first sock.

An Early Birthday Present

Woo Hoo! My family gave me an early birthday gift.

My very own digital camera. I am so excited it, is charging as I write. Photos to come soon!!!

Today has been a day for details. I registered Derrick, Alex and my BIL Troy to become Scuba certified when we next visit Key West. I registered myself for a beginning weaving class in June. Paid some bills. And have more paperwork to do tonight. All this to keep from cleaning the dining room. The dining table we bought for Amber last year is too big for her new house. Since it is much larger than mine, I get it back. Andy and his friend are bringing it tonight and I should have the room clean for the new addition.

I also found out today that my mom is coming for a visit on Friday and staying until April 9. I'll have to plan a few nice meals.

Last week I bought a used loom. It is a Leclerc Dorothy, 15in 4 shaft table loom. It should be great for learning. From everything I have read recently I think I will want a wider loom later, and probably a floor loom.

I can't pick it up until Thursday so photos will follow. I am so excited I can hardly wait. I'm just sorry that my class isn't until June. I'm sure I'll have to tinker with it before hand!

The sock above is finished and the second is on the needles. It is a pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks and the yarn is KPPPM.
