Naturally, Kim's Knitting - Week of July 18, 2016

I have been following my daughter's blog, Beyond the Schoolyard. She makes a small entry each day and then saves it to post on the weekend. I have decided to do something similar to this but I will publish when my podcast goes live.

Anyway, I have been working on another child's chemo cap. Before I left for California, I had mailed out about 20 caps. So I am going to continue until the beginning of December and then send another batch. I love making them. I wanted to try a little bit bigger this time, but I am not thrilled with the way it fans out, so I will need to continue working on it.

I am also working on my There and Back again socks and a tee top for my grandson. I will be posting pics on those as I get further along.

I have been using my fitbit, which my dear son-in-law gave me, to keep track of my movement. Instead, I have discovered it is a motivator, also. I have been able to reach over 7000 steps each day and over 10,000 on the past three days. Wow. What a feeling.

I am not able to walk in the area that I live but I do use a pilates ball to bounce while working my arms, abs, legs and anything else I can think of.

Today I am going to be starting a super secret item for CC or JavaPurl Designs. I cannot wait. Her designs are always so cool.  In addition, I have begun a new chemo cap and have been working on my grandson's sweater.

I may be able to make one more entry before tomorrow, but not sure.

Now, today is podcast day, so I will just go ahead and share my notes with you for the show:
