*eek* haven't posted for a while...

Been too busy with training... and not to forget the knitting!!

Lots of things posted on other boards and KAL's but not on here..

*kicks self*

Well to update...

Been running, lots and lots and lots...

Mileage is increasing and managed to get around Bnabury 15 last week...

Ashby 20 this week - but have to admit - that scares me! I WILL get around though! (the power of postive mental attitude!!)

As for the knitting...

hee hee hee...

Finished my Forest Canopy Shawl!! *runs around in excitement!*

My first attempt at knitting lace and have LOVED it...

Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug in Tuscana
Needles: 5mm Circ Boyes

Amazing what a difference the blocking makes!!

Took me two attempts to block as I wasn't happy with the first time...

and then finally at 2am this morning I put the last pin in and went to bed!!!

Whooppeeee!!
