Got together last week with an old co-worker for a stitch and bitch. It was nice catching up and getting the chance to just sit and crochet. I made more progress on my star ripple blanket getting to add the skein of Caron Cake Buttercream I had to purchase off Ebay.
Just a small clip of my crocheting.
A local yarn and sew shop closed up yesterday in our city and they had 75% off.
I picked up both of these Cascade Sunseekers yarns for $5. They should make a nice light scarf as they have a bit of sparkle in it.
I've been riding my bicycle avidly these last few years and with going to the gym regularly for over a year now I have found that pedaling up hills and such are much easier than they used to be. I've developed my leg strength from weight training and the knee pain I used to have has dissipated.
A month or so ago on Facebook I saw and advert for a bicycle challenge. I thought why not join, get some more purpose to my cycling. It's called the Great Cycle Challenge - Canada/USA/Australia.
It raises money for the Sick Kids Foundation - Kids fighting cancer. It's for the whole month of June.
My original money goal was a few hundred dollars, then I bumped it up to $500. And my kilometer goal at first was 50, but then I realized when I go for my usual hour long bike rides i'm clocking 10+ kilometers so I raised my goal to 75. On my first day ride of the month I went for just over an hour and rode 18 km and 10 the next day. So, again I bumped up my goal of 100 kilometers. I've now raised $565 for this foundation.
Summer has kicked off with festival season. This weekend was Ribfest and Art in the Park.
And ended a Saturday evening by a fire.
Happy Weekend all!! Keep Calm and Move On !!!
