Odds & Ends
A random assortment of stuff to start the week:
1. (No, it's not a knitted thong!) I started a new Clapotis last Thursday at Knit Together. Tammy, Kate, and I are doing a knitalong of this pattern. I wasn't sure at first - I kept worrying about the curling, but I think it will be fine once I drop the stitches.
2. I found a new podcast - Sticks & String. The bad news is that he's taking a break. The good news is he has 50 episodes to keep me in podcasts until Nicole & Jenny come back!
3. New Year's stuff - January 1 is an arbitrary date, but I can also use a bit a self-improvement. I'm using Joe's Goals to track how much I'm: eating my veggies, working out, reading, and not drinking Diet Coke (my carbonated beverage of choice).
4. The Firestarter sock is coming right along. I think it's going to be the project that travels around in the car with me. No, I don't knit while driving, but sometimes I get stuck waiting when I'm out adn about, and I am always glad if I happen to have a knitting project in my car.
5. Exercise. I know I've said it before, but I really am going to try to start posting regularly about my running and triathlon training. I'm planning to compete in another sprint triathlon this May, so I've got to get back in shape.
6. Sewing! My mom got me Joelle Hoverson's "Last Minute Patchwork & Quilting" book for Christmas. Lookee! I made a pincushion! It really was a quick little project. I think I'm going to try a tied quilt next.
