Last Minute Yarn Buying

I was so good. I went to Lettuce Knit twice. One day they had 30% off on all yarn and I just bought roving, no yarn. The next day I didn't buy yarn either. I went to Romni Wools the same day and I didn't buy yarn, not even sock yarn. Yesterday I couldn't resist. Both my married sons' wives are expecting. One is due in Februray and one in May. I've decided to try and spin the yarn for one but I don't know if I can spin for both so I decided to get the yarn for it. Yesterday I ordered some merino undyed lace and fingering weight yarn from KnitPicks. When I told Henny about the Knit From Your Stash 2007 and I was going to try and do it she just laughed at me. I'm going to try and show her that I can resist buying yarn for 9 months. It's not going to be easy but I've accomplished more difficult things this past year. I can do this too.

Speaking of accomplishments. In March 2006 a very good friend of mine lost his father. When I went to visit him to offer my condolences he told me he was going to see this doctor about trying to lose weight. I asked him for the name of the doctor. I went to see Dr. Poon on April 20, 2006. As of Dec. 31, 2006 I've lost a total of 90 pounds. I was hoping for 100 by the end of the year but that didn't happen. Even though I am slightly disappointed I am so very happy with the successes I have had to date. I am looking forward to reaching my goal in 2007. Once I get a chance to get a newer picture taken I'll post an updated picture.
