I'm a Runnning Nerd

I almost squealed out loud on my drive to work the other morning. I passed an MTS bus and on the back of it was Dean Karnazes, but as big as a bus, of course. How awesome is that? So much better than seeing a run-of-the-mill "athlete" like a baskeballer or footballer. Next thing you know, we'll see Dane Rauschenberg on the side of a bus. Yeah for running and yeah for public transportation. LOL!!

Shayna,
If it had been you, you would have rear ended that bus. LOL! I just had a vision of the bus with graffiti of your cute little smackaroo. *kiss*

Knitting is Taking Over Running

I am obsessed. Again. I am sitting here thinking about all the beautiful yarn at home, waiting for me. I can't concentrate at work. When I'm stressed out about my metalsmithing jewelry assignments, my mind wanders to my next knitting fantasy. Every chance I get, I'm searching for a project pattern or a stitch pattern. I can't wait until I can get my fingers ensconced in yarn and needles.

I am glad that I haven't donated my running shoes yet. I can use the stock insoles in the pair of slippers that I am knitting. The insoles are not dirty since I replaced them with SuperFeet. I get so excited when I can repurpose items into my knitting projects. Although I'm not a hoarder, I would rather recycle than add to the landfill.

I will be posting photos of my yarn stash soon. Maybe then my obsession will make more sense. Perhaps not.

Right now I am working on a berry stitch scarf. I thought it would match the beret I got from Urban Outfitters. I'll post photos later to illustrate my intent.

I feel for you. I was a knitting fool a few years back but it caused me wrist issues. I am actually thinking of taking it back up!
