Chasing Spindles 8 - All Caught Up

Chasing Spindles Episode 8 - All Caught Up!!



In this week's episode:

Babely: 

Sunday - 

Said I wasn’t going to make any New Year’s resolutions, and I mean that, but I did go shopping and I did re-enter the world of healthy eating again. The crappy thing about spending so much time away from home is that I am kind of forced to either buy two sets of groceries (one to leave home and the other to take with me to my parents’ house) or eat as my family do. So, what I did was buy healthy food that is portable. Not only did I do that, but (as I think I may have mentioned earlier) I signed up for Graze. Graze (for those of you who may not know) is a service that sends you a box of healthy snacks every 2 weeks. I figured that if I could afford Netflix, I could afford to do something healthy for myself. So Sunday was the day to get my eating back in order.

Monday - 

So I packed a healthy lunch for myself and went to catch my train. So as I’m sitting on the train minding my own business, this lady comes and sits at my table with me. She proceeds to apply her make-up and her friend joins her soon after. The whole ride was so uncomfortable and awkward. At one point, I believe the two of them started texting crap about me because in my catty experience, the only reason you text someone next to you is to talk crap about the other person in your vicinity, right? So that was just odd. Later that night, I realized I forgot to bring a spinning project!! SO not happy.

Tuesday -

I casted on a new project. If you’ll remember, I had said I wanted to make a gray hat following the pattern I had done for the Zebra cowl. Well since I don’t have any LYS’s in my area, I went to Michael’s and picked some up. 

I started suffering from fiber withdraw. That would have made the cold gloomy evening go buy much faster. My parents’ heater is broken and it is REALLY cold where I sleep, so my mom tried her hardest to keep the oven on and warm the house. So instead of spinning, I sat by the oven and kept warm. 

Wednesday - 

Went home and was informed that I received a package in the mail, so there will be some Stashy Stashy later in the show.

Thursday - 

Today I woke up on the (mentally)adventurous side of the bed and started thinking about how I could began the process of casting on a pair of socks in the near future. DPNs scare me and I can’t do magic loop, so this project is very daunting. I can tell this subject will be continued in my brain for days to come.

Friday - 

Worked on the blog and youtube channel to try and make it look nicer for those of you who read it.

Saturday - 

Nothing but spinning and knitting…Mostly spinning. So, let's get on with the show!!
