These are for my youngest daughter. She loves purple and hopefully will like these mittens. The color is magenta,not snowberry like I had originally planned to use. This is more purple and the snowberry was more pink. When I bought the machine,several totes of coned yarn came with it. It is so much fun to just go pick out a color and start knitting,not shopping each time I want to make something. That will come when it's time to make a sweater,because we don't have any local sources for coned yarn. Our local yarn shop has lots of beautiful yarns available but not machine knitting yarns,specifically.
Bought a few weaving items recently from the woolery. A wavy shuttle, 8 dent rigid heddle for my 29 inch loom,and some brackets to hold the heddle. Will do a post about that loom,soon,the heddle is on back order for three weeks! The yarn is from Walmart,going to use that with the new shuttle. Just have to get it on the loom.
Last Sunday started seriously following the keto diet again. Reached a weight that is not acceptable,so something had to be done. Am getting between 1,250 and 1,300 calories a day and have lost 5 pounds so far. It will slow down, will be happy with a 1 pound loss a week. All my clothes were tight,winter jackets and ski pants included. I refused to buy more ski pants,they are expensive,so was zipping them up and leaving them unsnapped. They are getting looser,was able to snap the snap last night. They are still pretty snug,but progress is underway.
