My life has been taken over by new choreography. Every free moment is spent dancing. But this release is amazing and we have LED finger lights for our participants to wear! How cool is that?
In other news, I started couch to 5k last night and managed not to die. Amazing. Maybe one day I’ll be a runner.

Clearly, she has lost her mind:

Sleeves have been separated on Effortless. I have another inch and a half until I start the waist shaping. I should really try this thing on… maybe at knitting group tonight.
The next two skeins are ready to go. I think I did a pretty good job of matching them up at WEBS. I’m still alternating between two skeins every 2 rows for a more mottled effect. It’s coming out nicely. At least I think so.
But some of you know that I don’t usually go to knitting on Wednesday evenings – I’m usually at the gym teaching BodyJam with Our Sharon. Well, this past Monday, I fell during BodyStep class and sprained my left ankle – I have to stay off of it for 2 weeks. I’m okay to walk on it normally because I was special and did a lateral sprain instead of the “normal” ankle sprain.
I spent yesterday with my foot up on my desk and today is very similar. So please, send some good ankle healing mojo to me so I can get back to dancing and preparing for the bodyjam launch weekend on April 21!

Okay since last time… I think I separated the sleeves on Effortless. Buttons are still not on Dark & Stormy as it needs to be re-blocked. Zipper is still not ordered for Oranje – I need to re-block, measure, and order the damn zipper; then install said zipper. We ended up not dyeing any fiber last weekend (maybe this weekend?).
Things that have happened:
- Subbed my first class at the gym on the 27th of February. I forgot to mention this last time.
- Spun a little bit of American Silk Sheep – a breed our friend Val has brought into existence. It’s lovely.
- I’ve really started to ramp up my job hunt. My current employer is the process of a merger (waiting on approval from the fed) so I’ve begun looking around at what is available – being proactive instead of reactive, yknow?
- Went dancing until 3 am last Sunday morning. Whew.
- I signed up for another Les Mills certification – this time is BodyStep.
BODYSTEP™ is the energizing step workout that makes you feel liberated and alive. Using a height-adjustable step and simple movements on, over and around the step you get huge motivation from sing-a-long music and approachable instructors. Cardio blocks push fat burning systems into high gear followed by muscle conditioning tracks that shape and tone your body. Like all the LES MILLS™ programs, a new BODYSTEP™ class is released every three months with new music and choreography.
Not much else is going on. I think I’ll do a WIP round up this weekend and hopefully get those sweaters re-blocked. I want an FO photo shoot for those ASAP.

So, probably most of you already know that I’m doing a mini KAL with our JessaLu – the Effortless Cardi (ravelry link!) by Hannah Fettig. We’re both using Madelinetosh yarn, mine in Alizarin and JessaLu’s in Amber Trinket.
Look, I have a pretty giant box bag too -
Delicious Madelinetosh yarn:
Nice even stitches:
A little closer:
I can’t wait until this is finished. It’s Rhinebeck Sweater #2 (yes!) for me this year. One more set of raglan increases and then I’m onto the next part of the pattern. So far the pattern has been very well written.
And in other news:
This weekend Sharon and I will be doing some dyeing for the etsy shop (specifically, Corriedale, Polwarth, and some superwash BFL fiber) and getting a photo shoot accomplished for my Dark and Stormy sweater. And that means, I have to block it again and get the damn buttons sewn on! So much to do!
