January 2018

Hello January 2018.

Well another year has gone, and that is all I have to say about that. 

I have done some math and it appears that I have 118 skeins of yarn in my stash *YIKES* so I am on a yarn buying freeze until most of that is knit, because I have more than enough to keep me entertained for quite some time. Just keep knitting, just keep knitting, just keep knitting.

The question now becomes, what shall I knit? Hopefully something big, that uses all the yarn at once...too funny.
The exciting part of January is that the bag of shame is gone (for now). I have woven in all the ends from this bag, and I can start wearing the items. This makes Ashley a very happy girl. I just hope that this does not happen again, and that I manage to stay on top of getting my ends woven in.

In other news I have signed up for a personal trainer. To start I am doing 8 weeks, this is to see if I like where I am headed, it has been good so far, who knows what the future will bring. Day one I was SORE, tired and full, lets hope the sore and tired bits subside, and are replaced with amazing and bouncing with energy. As of January 23rd, I felt like crap, actually it was earlier than that, but who is counting.
