It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted!  Work has been really hectic,  and not being able to not run is starting to catch up with me. It’s been 5 months and I am itching to start up again, but my shin splints just don’t seem to want to recover.  One step  forward two steps back. I’m actually considering joining a gym (arghh!!!) so that I can do more low impact workouts than I can at home.  So all this combined is making me tired and a little (a lot??) grumpy  

I have been crafting….slowly…..My poor mermaid is still not completed.  I have promised her to give her some more love and finish off her tail in the next couple of weeks.  I’ve found due to my exhaustion I’ve been knitting a lot more.  It takes less concentration, than stitching.

I’ve almost finished my vest (no updated pic), all I have left is to pick up stitches and knit the ribbing.  But I ran into a teeny issue, to pick up the stitches I needed a crochet hook, but alas I don’t own one.  So between waiting I cast on a simple cardigan.  I’m working with a new wool (to me) called Malabrigo, and oh my goodness, if clouds were strands of wool, they would be Malabrigo fibres.  It is the softest, most gorgeous wool I have ever had the pleasure in working with. Yum, yum, yum!

It has been so easy to knit, I am really looking forward to wearing it.  I am officially halfway through, so not long to go now!  

Both Jessica and I have the day off tomorrow, so I am looking forward to a sleep in, and maybe some more knitting, and stitching, yay!
