I finished the Drops of Blood Aestlight this morning so I thought it was a good idea to keep the mojo flowing with gifted yarns and useful shawls.
Next up, another Multnomah. This one out of Regal Silk, Artyarns, in a gorgeous green from Suzanne.

Let’s get into Body Talk
Haha, that song makes me laugh.
But seriously, let’s talk body.
I have gained weight. Muscles. Still scared shitless of fat. Dealing with the inevitable fact that the fat will appear eventually.
I am going to the gym daily. Rotating workouts. Worked legs yesterday and I am sore today! It’s about frickin’ time! I used my max weights from the start and just went. It worked. I can walk, unfortunately. I was hoping I would be so sore I couldn’t move but I guess moving is a good thing when you have to do stuff.
I have been incorporating a dynamic exercise into each workout; burpees, prisoner squats with knee lifts, lunge kick thingies that I am not bothering to go look up the technical name for. Gets a sweat up, not what I am supposed to be doing if my goal is to put on the muscle weight. I am not taking in enough calories to do cardio and burn calories, I am burning muscle when I do cardio so I need to be careful.
Still hate food. Nothing new there.
So, there you go. Little bits of progress.

Multnomah Shawl~ Gorgeous
I have received so much yarn over the last few months that it’s time to knit it up!
I started a crochet hat using the yarn from my sister in law Roberta. Don’t like it at all. Now I have decided it needs to be socks.
So I pulled out all yarn and centered on the madelinetosh pashmina in warm maize that Rowan, beautiful Rowan, gave me months ago. Then for a pattern. Ravelry helped me out there. Multnomah Shawl. Simple, useful, and cuuute!
