Admitting to the cravings is a great first step, Applekat. Drinking is not a solution, it will only cause more issues. If you haven't done so already, make sure you're not hungry and keep yourself well-hydrated with your non-alcoholic beverage of choice. I recommend ice cream. It's the cure for near-everything. Hope you'll check in often and keep us updated. We're here for you! Remember you really don't have to take that first drink today no matter what. Those thoughts have no real power over you as long as you don't put them into action.

Hi all!
My mood is quite a bit better today thank goodness. This cold is just lingering. It's not awful just enough to make me feel stuffy and sluggish.
I'm looking forward to this afternoon and the next few days. My boys have a half day and the the next two days and Monday off for spring break. We are planning on going to spend some time at a nature center with hiking trails and maybe the zoo. Our weather is being a little wonky. Mid 70's today but much cooler tomorrow. Our outings will also depend on when my chick's begin to hatch. We might want to be close to home Friday.
Welcome newcomers!!
This class is so full, lively, helpful and full of great energy! I just love it!

This is what I have been doing this winter: The pattern is called Marius, and I have knit 4 sweaters for kids (with pants) and one adult size. I have also made slippers and mittens using a cool technique, I use pure wool yarn, knit HUGE pieces and then I throw them in the washing machine and they shrink. It makes them very warm and insulated, and if they get wet they still keep you warm. I'll see if I can find pictures.

I tend to stick to socks, shawls and baby knits. Mostly socks though, talk about addictive!

Recipe (slippers) European size 36 (38) 40
Cast on 30 (40) 50 sts with no. 6 needle. Knit back and forth 28 (30) 38 times.
Now you need 5 needles, join the two ends together and knit round and around (35) 42 rounds.
Decrease 7 (10) 10 sts. evenly distributed, for 3 (3) 4 rounds.
Break yarn and pull through the remaining 9 (10) 10 sts.
Sow the back of the slippers, and throw into the washing machine, 60 degrees Celsius.
Please let me know if there is something you don't understand!
