Blustery Day!

The Pacific Northwest has been hit by a pretty bad storm for the last couple of days. Think blowing wind and hard rain! Today is my day off of work and I am making the most of it! I made some really yummmmmmm apple crumble with ice cream for breakfast, yes I said breakfast! I am going to hunker down with a blanket and knit all day! I am finishing a sweater in Kodiak. I will have details and good pictures soon. Kodiak is a new yarn to Knitting Bee and I just love it! I am also going to finish my test knit for Jami today! I am using Juno Fiber Arts, Alice and I love it! Knitting Bee is one of only a couple shops in the US that you can buy this beautiful yarn! We just received a shipment and I love all the colors. I love them so much I have been dreaming about them! REALLY DREAMING ABOUT THEM!

Happy Adventures, Trish

Look

Look everyone! My mitten pattern made it into 60 Quick Knits from America's Yarn Shops! I am soooooo excited! The book comes out in November. Here is a link to the pattern page on Ravelry. I am teaching fair isle mittens at The Knitting Bee this fall, they are not this pair but other patterns that I have designed.

I should note that the Photo was taken by the photographer for the book. Happy Adventures, Trish

Thinking of starting a new blog.....

So I still knit lots but it isn't my only focus. Well it isn't like it was always my only focus but it was my main passion and now it is one of a couple. You see I have always been a bit of a fitness and nutrition freak but I kind of let myself go for a few years. Okay, maybe 15! Anyway I have gone back down that pathway and I am addicted! I still knit everyday but I also workout everyday and I read fitness and nutrition information everyday. I am a little obsessed. Anyway, I am thinking about starting a blog that talks a little about that side of my life. So the question is would any of you read it and would any of you have any ideas for the title of the blog? I am leaning toward Trish the Dish :) LOL! Oh and for those of you that would like to see my body transformation here you go :) First on is me in a hand knit top at World Wide Knit in Public day a few Years ago. The second is a funny picture my friend Stephanie snapped after our 8 miles run on my 37th birthday a few weeks ago. Note: I am in orange in both photos :)
