Time to Make a Resolution!
This is my yarn stash. Not including the approximately 5 projects I'm working on, and the 3 skeins sitting on my desk. Or the two bags of sweater's worth in my closet (they wouldn't fit in the bins) The picture doesn't really show the actual yardage I own. I have enough yarn here to happily knit for at least a couple of years. To knit 50 pairs of socks. 20 sweaters. About a million hats.
So I'm making a resolution and publishing it here, you can shame me in public when I fail. I'm knitting from the stash this year! Shopping in my own collection of carefully curated yarns. Not buying new skeins.
Except for the ONE MORE SKEIN of Zauberball I need to finish my High Street Shawl. That one doesn't count.

TQI week 5
Still on it. Katie and Tony had 3-4 pound losses last week. Cara and I were in the more annoying half pound loss area. Slow progress. This week I need to improve on the water intake and up the veg.

TQI Week 4
We are doing great! I don't have a big weight loss to report, but am feeling good with this eating plan. Added dairy in small amounts, otherwise we are sticking with the basic plan. It's a very healthy eating plan and thank god Katie and Tony are good cooks!
Went to the gym for the first time in ages. I'm sure I was the slowest, weakest person there but you have to start somewhere. 20 minutes on the treadmill at very slow speed. Knee was a bit sore but not too bad. I'm determined to get flexibility and strength back to that knee!

Cara's 2013 Project
This gal worked all year on knitting squares for a sampler afghan. My job was to sew them all together, but I kept putting it off (it's the worst job ever). I surprised he with the finished blankie plus matching pillow for Christmas. Looks like it's a success:
