For My New Friend

This post is for Josephine. No pictures to post, but a post none the less.
Last weekend I traveled for the first time in my life not only to a neighboring state, but throught Wisconsin into Minnesota, for a knitting seminar. Sweetheart Knitting seminar in Fridley, MN. I met several knitters (duh) and had a wonderful two days of learning more machine knitting techiques.
I enjoyed all three of the demonstrators; Marcia Hauser, Helen Griffiths and Michael Becker.
I'm still slow to get motiviated, but, I took Jane for a walk this afternoon and was inspired. I remembered that I need to make myself a scarf and gloves or mitts to go with my winter coat. I would like to make a sign for my business. Tony's socks are nearly done but I don't care for the bind off nor the afterthought heel and both will be reworked before he can wear them.
Healthwise, I've been keeping a food journal--new thing for me. I eat a lot. Portion size is an issue for me.
I'm now in the 21st century--got cell phones last week too! And as soon as I figure out how to post a blog from my 'smartphone', you'll be the first to know!
