Down but not out

I am out of Tae kwon do for a while with a back injury. To many spin-jumping kicks I guess. I knew that day I would be sore, but not this bad. I have a muscle spasm in my lower back. But the good news is that is doesn't hurt to knit. So I am doing christmas knitting, KAL shawls and my Ravery Mitten exchange mittens.

I am so glad I can at least knit. Hopefully I will be back to TKD soon. I miss it.

Knitting like crazy

I have been knitting like crazy to finished the two zipper hoodies I am working on. One for DH and one for DS. I am close to being done with both of them. Yes I am working on both at the same time. LOL I want to finish then up and then start on Holiday knitting. And I also signed up for the Secret Stole KAL that starts Oct 5. I will have photos soon.

I started Homeschooling Zachary this week and it is going well. I knit while he does his work and that helps with my patience.

Zachary and I also Started at a New Tae Kwon Do school this week, Since my other TKD Master closed his School. I think I will like this school, but it is strange coming in as a Black belt and knowing they are evaluating your skill set.

Hope everyone has a Great Labor Day!

Check out my photos on . My Monkey socks are up and some Felted baby booties.

Monkey socks

I finished my first pair of Monkey socks. I love them. They are a litttle big. BUT I can wear them. I knitted them on 2's. I am now making another pair on 0's. I think they will fit better.

I love the pattern.
I will post pics soon.
Here is the pattern.

First Post

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post. I have been knitting for 24 years. I learned when I was 16. If you do the math you will figure out how old I am. LOL

I also just became a first degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon DO. I am proud of that fact. I never thought at 40 I would achieve that goal.

I will soon bring you photos of my projects I am working on and recently finished.
