I am wondering when it will open!
There is knitting tonight. With the Alison’s Scarf complete, I have been back on the socks with the loops of magickness! I have a dishcloth on the needles (always). I have started knitting my first handspun into a scarf, but think the pattern isn’t working. I have another pattern I think will do better, and intend to frog and restart. I will be following the Wendy Scarf pattern from the pattern-a-day calendar. I am also dying to cast on the baby surprise jacket by Elizabeth Zimmerman. Dying, I say! (Cast on as of knitting tonight.)
Knitting, spinning, gardening, and birthday cards to make. My life is full.
All that, and at work, we have started our annual exercise-a-thon. We are cast into teams, and set loose to rack up minutes in exertive activity. Now, I work with some that make fitness a serious lifestyle. I am talking running miles, biking miles…MANY MILES…daily! And I work with some that haven’t seen the distant side of 30, and if they have, they are much closer to 30 than to 40. Then there are a few, very few, of us circling around the half century (and beyond) mark. Over half the employees participate in this, and over a 6 week span, average hours exercised by teams run about 10-12 per week per person. Do the math. That’s a lot of competitiveness. That’s a lot of keeping up with the youngsters!
I can get an hour and a half in easily when I ride my bike to work, and I typically work on the stationary bike in the morning 30 minutes anyway. I just boost that time up to 45 minutes when I don’t ride. If weather/time permits, a walk with Best Dog Ever after work can help, but it’s tough to get more exercise than that in. Hikes on the weekend add time to the total, but leave other chores undone!
If only I could count spinning…

I found this tonight on my return home. Oh yeah!
Smack in between Mother's Day and my birthday. Life is good.
