New Year !
I belong to a group in Ravelry called 'The Yarn Yard' and one of the threads is 26 26. We are all trying to be more healthy and lose some weight. As part of this I am doing more exercise and this morning although it was -5 degrees we went for a walk. This is the tythe barn that was at the end of our walk. We walked along the canal tow path. We also walked along it yesterday and the weather was beautiful but I did not take my camera.


Another of my fitness drives is to use my rowing machine again and so far I have rowed each day. I used to row quite a lot but have lapsed somewhat. It is very frightening how quickly I have lost fitness. I used to row 10k or 30 minutes easily, now I am struggling with 20 minutes.





These are a couple of finished articles. The green bear was a Christmas present
for the boy next door. It is sitting with the other bear I knitted.

The neck warmer is from a pattern in Knitty called Poinsettia but I used 4 ply yarn and added more stitches and more pattern
repeats.











I am now knitting an afghan for my son and his girlfriend and still plodding on with the 'big' sweater. I also have to finish some fingerless mitts. There are also lots of other UFO's but they will be done later !!!!
