Tonight's events

Hello friends,

Tonight after going for a delicious Sushi dinner (I LOVE SUSHI!) with my mom and sister, I  hung out at home and knitted and watch mtv shows.  I have been working on the sock and am pretty close to being done my first one!

I watched "friendzone" tonight on mtv.ca it was cute.  It's a show on MTV about people who want to surprise their friend who they have liked by confessing their love for them.  I watched two that worked out in the end but I bet there are some that don't work out quite the same. 

Tomorrow night I am gonig to YUK YUKS for my friend's birthday.  It's my first time going to a comedy club, and I am soo excited.  Plus I get to see one of my good friends that I don't see too often because she's away at school.  It will be fun :)

see you

Training for a 5k!

Hello :)

I am training for a 5k run that is happening in May.  I am doing the Cool Running- Couch-to-5k running plan.  Even though I can run for 15 minutes at a time I decided to listen to what they said on the website and start from the beginnng to build up the strength and endurance I'd need to run the entire 5k.  Tonight I did the Week 1 workout 2, which was "Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes".  I did this at the gym tonight and admit I felt kind of silly jogging then walking, jogging then walking again.... but it will be worth it!

I really love running and the solitude aspect of it.  I love that it is something that is all about me.  It is about my fitness and my time.  I hope that this plan works and I feel even stronger by the end of it :)

Current Projects!

Hello everyone,

i Hope you are having a great Sunday! These are a couple projects I've been working on lately.  I knitted the green mitten and just have the thumb to complete (where I went wrong the last time) and then I started knitting this colourful sock!

Patterns:

Mitten:
Cast on 40 stitches in the round and divide 20 stitches between the two ends of a circular needle.  Knit in rib stitch knit two, purl two until cuff if the length you desire.  Then knit an entire row and then on the second row mark your four stitches for the start thumb gusset increase.  knit until up to top of fingers and then beginn decrease (decrease 2 stitches every other row until you reach the top of your fingers) and do Kitchener closure. 

Sock:
Cast on 40 stitches onto circular needle.  Divide the stitches into 20 per needle end.  Do rib stitch, knit two, purl two until you get the desired length for your ankle.  Then begin knit stitch and finish with a decrease and then kitchener closure.
