I'm Alive!

Hey everyone, I have been crazy busy with work, a boy getting ready for international travel and my health! I have been working a lot of hours at The Knitting Bee this summer. I love my job! I mean come on who doesn't like to help other people spend money on yarn! When I haven't been at the shop I have been taking care of my boys! The oldest made the US Men's Cadet Foil Squad and will be heading to Budapest in early October. I have spent a lot of my time figuring out all the logistics of that! He and I are also traveling to Germany for a competition in November! I am so excited. I started a little knitting project to wear when I am in Germany last night:)Can you say Kidsilk Haze and a rainbow! On another note I have been taking care of me. I have started running again and am planning on running the Humboldt Redwoods Half Marathon in October. I am from that area originally and I have convinced all my siblings to run the half with me!!! It is going to be soooo much fun. I hope our family lines the course and cheers us on! I have also been concentrating on eating well making almost all my food myself and counting my calories using a website called Calorie Count. I have lost 50 pounds since March and plan on losing 15 to 25 more! So these are the reasons that I have been absent from my blog! Sorry! Oh oh and I can't find my camera battery charger! I will have some pictures of knitting as soon as I find it! Happy Adventures, Trish

Baseball Boys!

I have been spending a lot of time here! Probably one reason I don't have many pictures of knitting:( Happy Adventures, Trish

Spring Flowers and a Walk in the Woods

My hubby and I went for a beautiful hike in the woods with some friends the other day. My dear friend Helen has lots of beautiful flower in her yard and I had to take some pictures of them! I also got some pictures of some wild flowers on our hike! Flowers from Helen's Yard!

Pictures from our Hike!

I am still knitting lots I just haven't taken any pictures! Happy Adventures, Trish

Socks!

I finished some socks and actually remembered to take a picture!!! These are just plain old socks knit out of Malabrigo Sock purchased at the Knitting Bee! These were fun to knit and I might just have to cast on another pair. I have finished two T-shirts for summer and have not gotten around to taking pictures and sharing them with you yet! I am sooooo bad:) I better make that a goal for this week.

Oh and I had to share some pictures of some of the spring flowers in my yard:) They make me smile.

King's Mountain!

Boy did I go for some hike today! 2600 feet elevation gain in 2.5 miles. It was crazy steep and my legs feel like jello! But I did it:) It was so beautiful and worth all the climbing.

Oh and yes I am still knitting. I have finished two summer tops that I just need to take photos of. I have just been concentrating on my health and working a lot:) Happy Adventures, Trish
