So for the past 9 wks, I have been MOVING. Since hubby & I moved to another state it's been just the two of us packing and moving boxes in the mom-mobile. This past weekend was the last weekend for moving. We really hustled to finish. Then, Mon & yesterday I was washing laundry & dishes, and unpacking like a fiend. This morning I woke up and my joints, muscles, and feet are getting their revenge. Everything hurts! (I think this means I'm getting old.) BUT - for every negative, there is a positive. And the positive is that I curled up in a blanket and started reading Eat Pray Love and knitting the Jasmine Lace Fingerless Mitts. A little down time is just what the doctor ordered.
Let me just say, that I'm only in Book 1 of Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and already am smitten with this book! I adore her writing style and sense of humor as well as her candor. My goal is to finish the book so I can go see the movie with the goils!
Here are the mitts I started:
I'm knitting the Jasmine Lace Fingerless Mitts by Adrienne Fong in Regia Color 4-Ply (Classic Brasil Color) for my mom's birthday. I'm also making her a batch of my hand lotion for her to go along with the mitts.
Now all that's missing is a foot massage and some chocolate! ;p

Eat Pray Love is on my wishlist of books to read, but finding the time to finish a book isn't always easy. I started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo about a month ago, and although it's a really good book, I still haven't finished..ugh!
ReplyDeleteI love those gloves and the color you chose. I'm going to have to add this pattern to the growing list of things I want to knit :)
I have a somewhat odd question - were you knitting and reading at the same time? If so, how? If I could figure out to do both at the same time then I could knit a lot more.
ReplyDeleteSounds very relaxing! Hope it did what you needed!
ReplyDeleteI adore that book. I really didn't think I'd like it, but I loved her honesty and humility about those whole experience. And yeah... how do you read and knit at the same time???
ReplyDeleteI don't knit and read at the same time! LOL!! :) I DO listen to audiobooks and knit at the same time. So far, I really like this book!
