Then while I was taking my morning walk I ran into a casual acquaintance who told me I looked hot. I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about the temperature considering how he commented on how I had lost weight etc. Anyway I'm taking it that way. You take what you can.
I did finish the fir cone shawl last night. It's been practically impossible to get a photo of it.
The color is really washed out but at least you can see the pattern. I still have some serious blocking to do but for now I'll take what I can get.

woohoo, larry! all that walking has paid off!
and i think the fir cone shawl is gorgeous, even if the colors are washed out.
i'm still working on my swan stole. it's going slowly, but i WILL prevail (and before christmas!)
Oh, that shawl is really pretty. I might have to make that one! I like the pattern! Gorgeous, as always...and the shawl too. ;)
Glad your efforts have paid off! I noticed yesterday when I was at work how much weight my boss has lost since I've been gone. She'd lost some before I left because they finally figured out she has thyroid problems. She also goes for a nice, long walk every day and watching what she eats.
After seeing both of my skinny-little-runt friends this summer that I haven't seen in five and six years I'm hoping it motivates me to do something. I came home from the grocery store yesterday with a bunch of healthy foods (eating right isn't cheap!). My brother's friend also won a three-month membership to our local gym. He lives 45 minutes away, so he asked if I wanted it. So hopefully next summer when my Alberta friend is home she'll see a "new me"! :)
I love the shawl! I'm anxious to start my first shawl now that I'm home, but I have a few pairs of socks I need to make first.
You have a doctor that emails you????? Clone that doctor!
Kudos on the good report from the doc! That's the way to do it!
And that Fir Cone pattern sure looks a lot like the one I've just finished. I'm going to go blog it now so we can compare!
