I attended the Minnesota Knitters’ Guild “Yarnover” event.  My morning class was “Icelandic Upside Down” and my afternoon class was “Groovy Garter Stitch”.  Both taught be Ragga Eiriksdotter of “Knitting Iceland”.  Dang if some yarn and a basket didn’t follow me home!

This morning’s workout. I’ve lost some momentum with my Tuesday morning weights. A good alternative would be a 6 am BodyPump class. But, 6 am?!?!?!  There’s a water workout class at 7, but that’s not at all challenging.  I’m going to cut myself some slack for the rest of this month.  Hopefully, warmer weather and sunshine will bring some motivation.

It doesn’t happen often, but, today no one showed up for Sunday dinner.  We enjoyed our quiet evening!

My friend from Ravelry, Michele, joined me for today’s adventure.  We finished the list with visits to:    Crafy Planet, Shepherd’s Choice,  All About Yarn,  A Sheepy Yarn Shoppe, Lila & Claudine’s and Darn Knit Anyway.  Michele treated me to lunch at the Dock Café in Stillwater, where we had a lovely corner booth overlooking the river.  After lunch we met Amy and Avery at “Darn Knit Anyway”.

My Yarn Shop Hop continued with visits to:  StevenBe, The Yarnery, 3 Kittens Needle Arts, Yarn Garage, and Unwind Yarn Shop.

I decided to participate in the Minnesota Shop Hop 2013.   Despite the weather, today I visited:  Amazing Threads, Skeins, Lakeside Yarn, Linden Yarn and Needlework Unlimited.  I won a daily door prize from Lakeside Yarn!

This morning’s workout.

I toured Friendship Village and loved the place!

1:17:49, 10 miles, HR=108 and “Man On Wire” on the TechnoGym Wave.

2:09:52, 6 miles, HR=110 and “The Hours” on the treadmill.
