Weekend Update

I had a great weekend! The weather was gorgeous, wasn’t it?
Friday I went into the city (New York, that is). I hung out in the village, had dinner at a Cuban restaurant, did a little shopping. I even found something for my secret pal!
I didn’t get home until almost 4 am though. I missed my 12:30am train by a few minutes. Why? Because my cab got pulled over by a cop. It was totally the driver’s fault. We almost got into a serious accident. But we didn’t, and so I would have been fine just continuing along our way up to Penn Station. So I got there a couple minutes late and had to wait an hour for the train. I did have my knitting to keep me company, although I didn’t take it out. At that hour, after a whole lotta wine, I thought it better to just sleep.
This weekend I didn’t get alot of knitting in. Smooch is coming along nicely. I think this tank will be sized alot better. I finally found a knitted tank that I liked the fit of, and so I matched it up to that one. I’m finding the Cotton Classic to be a tad splitty. Has anyone else noticed this? It could also be that I’m knitting it in navy, which makes it harder to see the stitches anyway.
Oh yeah, no more navy in my dye lot. This weekend I’ll stop by Sophie’s and Rosie’s and match up my hanks to what they’ve got. Funny thing is, I think there’s a chance I’ll be OK. I’ll definitely know by Saturday. I expect to get at least the front done my end of week.
Diet
I went back on my diet last week. I didn’t say anything at first because I wanted to make sure I could do it. Atkins is so great for sucking you back in. You get on for a few days and immediately lose a few pounds. Very inspiring! I’m down 16 since Christmas (most of which I lost last week or in the first 2 months of the year). I don’t think I’ll stick to this one til I’m all the way down to my goal size either. I like being able to go off it and get back on. It seems more natural that way. And this ensures me that I *can* get back on and keep myself in check if i gain back a few. It also helps with the cravings.
Summer Knitting Schedule
I was over reading Kristine’s blog about the new fall yarns, and it got me to thinking. I’m going to try and not plan any new summery projects after July. I know by that time I’ll be itching to pull out the wool and try something different from the cotton and tanks I’ve been working on now. If I’m successful this will be a big step for me! Usually I don’t plan this kind of stuff out and then one day wake up and realize that I’m done with the season and want to move on. So I’m not convinced it’s going to work, but I will try!
