I am working on a Fair Isle pullover,my first time on round needles......the entire sweater is patterned....my friends call it the Five-Year Fair Isle !

Hi I'm Anne and I live in Niagara ,Ontario Canada...I've been knitting and crocheting for a few years but mostly easy things. I recently started my first Fair Isle sweater . Hopefully my knitting will keep me out of the fridge at night.....I tend to graze all evening unless I'm busy with something interesting.

Take care and may everything turn out for the best Hugs,Anne

Happy Thursday to you too . It is going to be a lovely day here. The sun is shining, the temperature rising and Monday's snow shower is just a bad memory. I can't wait to open the windows and let the spring breezes in.......maybe next week will warm up enough to air the house out. Meanwhile, its a perfect day to go for a…

My doctor said that weight fluctuates almost hourly and suggested weighing at the same time but you probably do that already. Someone else said that eating salty food causes temporary fluid retention that pushes weight up for a brief time. Apparently diet pop has a high sodium content that works against weight loss even…

Wish we had Walgreens in Canada....it looks like a good plan and the rewards are an incentive to get out there and enjoy being outside.

Thanks for the welcome messages. Hopefully that big "0" on my ticker will start to move soon. I am going to the YMCA to do the aqua fitness classes three days a week ....low impact exercise to spare the knees! Looking forward to chatting with you again.
