It's been pissing rain out all day today, it's so gross outside. While out at the nutritionist's office, I went to the dollar store nearby and ran into Eugenie there. It's always nice to run into people during your day. She got to see Mack, so she was happy. I don't bring him knitting anymore, so everyone misses him at knit night.
My sister got me another pattern today as part of my birthday present. I got the B-side Cardigan by Laura Chau (another pattern on my want list). Thank you Amy! I love Laura Chau's patterns, she's got some great stuff.
Mack took a really nice nap today, so I sat down on the couch, caught up on a few episodes of CSI (Las Vegas), which I'm still behind a few episodes and did some work. I also did a lot of laundry folding today too. Gosh, will the laundry ever end?? I really don't see an end in sight.
Late afternoon I picked up Sean from daycare after Mack got up from his nap, and I fed Mack as soon as I got back. On Wednesday nights when I go knitting, I take care of feeding Mack before I leave, and Sean eats dinner with Jamie after I leave.
Tonight I went to Knit/Crochet knit and laerned how to read a crochet pattern. I started the Queen Anne's Lace Scarf tonight. To be honest, I wasn't sure what I would think of crochet, but I enjoyed working on it, and hope that I have enough yarn!
Aren't the colors beautiful? It's Paton's SWS in Natural Violet. This skein was a gift from Madeleine. I just love how the motifs keep changing colors.
Here is the progress so far on my scarf. I have 13 motifs done.Tonight at Knit/Crochet night we were a nice size group. Always have a good time.
Amy & I with our crochet projects.I can't wait to work some more on this scarf tomorrow. Easy & fun!

Yes - congratulations on the weight loss. The increased energy is such a bonus that oftentimes *that* is what keeps me motivated.
And the scarf....I have worked up two of them and LOVE them. Great easy pattern.
Wow- 0.2 lbs to go! Way to go!
That scarf looks gorgeous, I was thinking the same thing you wrote- I love how the colors worked out so that each section changes color, plus the colors themselves are stunning. It's going to be beautiful!
