Orange Moebius Cowl done!

That was fast! It's been a while since I've done any moebius projects (I went crazy with them for a while last year), so it was nice to do one and have it come out so perfect. I can't wait to wear this with some of my sweaters. I love orange!

And now onto the baby sweater. It's not that I don't love to do it, it's that the project is a bit tedious. So I plan to reward myself - after I complete the back I can do my Drops headband, then I have to do front. I'll have to come up with another reward after I do it. So far I've done the first 10 rows, so that's progress!

And today I signed up for the National Body Challenge. In the past year, I've lost 35 lbs and gained 5 back. My goal for the next 6 months is to lose another 20. After the National Body Challenge I'm going to join Weight Watchers online - I just need something to keep me on track. It's so exciting - I've seen myself change a lot in the last year, it will be fun to see the changes this year!

New Year

Woo hoo 2007 is finally over! That was a tough year. I think ending it by having to bring my 3 cats to a shelter probably was fitting given everything else that happened. Anyway, 2008 had better be better than 2007. So what are the plans for 2008? We're getting our house ready to sell, so we can move to NC. Then hopefully I'll do well on my LSATs and get into a great law school for fall 2009 or 2010. Really, just being out of New England for a while will be great! The winters are too much for me and I prefer hot and humid weather. I just feel better when it's 85 out.

On the needles this year are a few musts - first I had to finish my mom's birthday present. It's the Irish Hiking Scarf from Hello Yarn. Super-popular on Ravelry and this is actually the second one I've made since the first went to Liz for Christmas. The yarn is interesting. I hope she likes it... who am I kidding? she likes it, she doesn't... at least I made it and I like it.

Then there's the baby sweater for Noah and Shelley's little guy due in February. I can't wait - they'll make great parents. And finally some projects for me! I'm working on a Moebius Cowl in an orange silk boucle. Once that's done I'm going to do this headband - I've got some left over yarns that might work well for it. That's enough for now... although I swear my ravelry queue grows weekly! Happy Knitting in 2008!
