  My Obsession

I can't even believe it's been a week since I last posted. Bad girl!! I guess I have been obsessed
busy with the my cabled beauty...Rogue. It is too easy to become immersed in this baby. What can I say...I'm in love. So much so that I already would love to make another one and I'm not even done with my first one. Well here here a picture of Maya modeling Rogue...

You know, I keep knitting sweaters in neutral colors. I love this yarn but I thought it might be a bit manly...NOT. I adore this colorway. I also tried her on and she is going to fit great! The only thing that I may have to do is frog the sleeve caps, knit about 2 more inches on the arm and then redo the cap. I will see though when the time comes. I definitely do not want short sleeves. Heather helped me out when I had a problem with the neck cable. Thanks H!! When I was on row 56 on the hood, I noticed that one of the 5 stitch cables was twisted the wrong way about 11 rows down on both sides of the hood. Being the perfectionist that I am, I had to redo them. Now...I have never done this before, so I called on Claudia for the usual help (I really owe her big time) and she was there for me with no hesitation what so ever. I'm happy to report that I dropped those stitches (I was almost in tears), redid the cables and worked my way up the ladders. And then I rejoiced!! I almost felt like I had to redo the cables so I could learn something new. I did and I'm glad. Now I will never be scared when I make a mistake again. What would I do without all my knitting helpers?  grin

The lovely Bethany...my SP3...sent me a surprise in the mail. We are not even doing the SP3 any more so I was really surprised. Here is what she sent me...

This was on my Amazon wish list. Thank you so much Bethany. That was very generous. I love it!!!

Workout Update...
I am so proud of my self. I did Pilate's 2 days last week an cardio 3 days. The truth is...the more consistent I am with working out, the easier it becomes. Really!! I did Pilate's this morning. Pilate's is much harder than it looks. What helps with working out...I don't give myself a chance to think about if I want to workout, I Just Do it.

Happy Valentine's Day !!!! Hearts
