Accountability

I need to write out my goals for xfit (the brutal cross training gym I joined for the next 11 weeks). I was going to write them out and give them to the instructor, but I thought I would share them here for the ultimate in accountability.

Ya know, cuz if you publish something on the internet....it hasta happen!

Goal #1: Get through a full xfit workout without cheating or modifying.
How I'm Going to Get to the Goal: Really push myself at each workout, trying everything at least once before I modify it.
Prize: A morning babysitter and I can go read or shop or do anything I want.
Punishment: 50 push ups at the last class

Goal #2: Complete the 24 day Advocare Challenge (I'm on day 2)
How I'm Going to Get to the Goal: Focus each day on what I put in my mouth and log it on myfitnesspal.com.
Prize: Girl's Night Out
Punishment: I think failing is punishment enough....but pulling weeds!!

Goal #3: Run a 5K in under 30 minutes
How I'm Going to Get to the Goal: walk/jog on days that I'm not doing xfit
Prize: New exercise clothes
Punishment: wear nasty old exercise clothes longer

So, there it is in black and white...I just have to stick to it now! I think the punishment for failing will be sharing on here that I didn't make it....must stay on task!!!

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Chemo Caps - Part 2

The Gia Chemo Cap doesn't have the same sort of story behind it as the Karen Cap , but it was developed with Chemo patients in mind! Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gia-chemo-cap

How are you all doing with holiday gifts? Still need a few to knock out quick-like? I found these cute gifts that I think could work up fast. For the book lovers on your list, I think these cute crocheted chicken bookmarks are hilarious! Crochet Colorful Chicken Bookmark by PurrCraftedDesign . The pattern sells for $4.95 on Ravelry and calls for a sport weight cotton. The shop sells a DK cotton that would also work beautifully for these cuties - Ricorumi Another bookmark pattern is Leaf Bookmark & Garland Motif by Joey Diehl . This pattern is FREE and calls for Worsted weight yarn, so Uptown Worsted would be perfect for this. How about a sweet pocket friend for a child? This one is super basic, called Worry Pet by Blue Fox Paws and is a FREE pattern and uses any gauge yarn! It would be fun to use a textured yarn, or a fuzzy kind, but any yarn works. You can opt to put the ears on or not. We have safety eyes in the shop, too! Do you know someone who uses Airpods and could use a co...
