Close Knit Family

During our most recent pool day, I was knitting on my Zauberball socks and my niece, Riley wanted to knit too! I helped a little, but mostly she wanted to work with Auntie Krissy! It was great to see two of my favorite people knitting together!

My nephew Garret informed me his slippers are too small. He needs new ones that will fit his feet! Adding that to the Christmas knitting list.

On a Happy Note

Couch to 5k Running Progress: I’m currently on Week 8. I’m running 25-28 minutes at a time- still can’t believe it. I find I do better when I run every 2-3 days instead of taking off 4-5 days in between runs.

Vacation pool days!

Garret figured out how to do a flip off the diving board (at the ripe old age of 4)

We spent a day at Roger William’s Zoo then visiting a local dairy for ice cream!

Stitch Fix: for the first time I kept all 5 items. I found that my stylist really incorporated all of  the feedback I gave from previous shipments and it paid off! More details to follow in an upcoming blog post. If you’re interested in trying it out, please consider using my referral code.

If you enjoyed this show or learned something from me today, I’d ask to you to please take a moment of your time to leave a star rating or quick review on iTunes to help others find the show too!

Happy Knitting! Talk to you soon!
