Yarny Goodness....



 
Kureon Sock S150

Kureyon Sock S164




Baktus - about 25% complete
I know, all the knitting world has viewed Kureyon sock 9 million times .... but I promised myself I would be more faithful about documenting my knitting with pictures this go round - so there you have it. Unoriginal. Boring. Same old same old.

Thoughts on Baktus....
Again, this seems to be a pattern that took the blogs by storm about a year ago. Typical of me to pick something dépassé...but it is just what I need knitting wise - simple, pretty, have to pay just a bit of attention but no charts, cables, lace....all the things I have no time for. So it's all good. I'd like to try a stripey one next, maybe with that other skein of Kureyon sock you see above and a solid...only problem there is I tend to go a little too matchy-matchy with those things and then the stripes blend in too much...note to self: no matchy-matchy....

Life Returns to Chaos...
Monday begins a new term of school....Dance classes resume with class on Mondays and Thursdays, private students Tues, Thurs and alternate Sundays, and troupe on Mondays and Fridays. I seem to prefer hectic and chaotic....while these two weeks off have been nice...I'm jonesing for some dance and missing my troupies and students.

Health, where are you?
After a recent set of rather extensive lab tests...I find myself facing a handful of supplements a day, a low glycemic diet (translate:  no potato, no bread, no grain, no pasta....) and a new hope for regaining health and losing weight. Turns out all these years I made myself crazy trying to lose, but couldn't? Apparently my hormones are all outta whack and you just *don't* lose weight when they are that messed up. Tack on a lil vitamin D deficiency and insulin resistance, and I find out I'm really not lazy and unmotivated - apparently it didn't really matter what I tried or how hard, it wasn't gonna go. Who knew? Here's to a healthier New Year....
