Fiber Arts Friday – TGIFF

TIGIFF!  Thank Goodness It’s Fiber Friday

I’m more excited that it’s Friday than anything else.  It has been a long and stressful week.  This week I was running solo and I’m so thankful to have M.back.  Juggling farm chores, house chores, manly chores, puppy chores, cat chores, hay bales, plowing, shoveling, coal stove maintenance, oh yeah and then there’s the day job as well as being OnCall for the day job.  I’m beat!

I hardly got anything done for my fiber fun this week.  I present to you the very beginning of the green/gold shawl.   Question: does anyone know a tip for getting the twist out of new set of circular needles?  The darn thing keeps curling on itself and its driving me nutty.

On a unrelated note I joined a gym.  I’ve crested over the 200lb making me now 40lbs over the weight I was happiest at.  So, I’m testing a gym out for the next month.  I’ve never gone before so it is all new to me.  My goal: Make an honest attempt to go every day for 1 hour.  So far, I’ve only missed 1 day this week due to that darn OnCall phone. Argh.  I wonder how the gym would like it if I’m using a computer and chatting away on the phone while using the treadmill?
