Figuring out blogging, inspiration, gauge and the x-bf...

Well, i obviously don't know what i'm doing, trying to figure out how you add links and all that side information. So forgive my posts when they make no sense to you. I wanted to put this link on the side so if anyone wanted to join KnitnFit they could. I just joined and i found them to be really welcoming and nice people. And uplifting and inspirational. I'll have to do more research to figure all this out.

I have been very busy lately, trying to finish the Cotton Ease cable baby sweater in pistachio. 3 nights ago i decided the back and fronts were not long enough so i added about 1.5 inches to all. I was kind of winging it, without a tape measure (big mistake) Then i wasn't sure that i knitted the front left and right sides correctly, still not sure i did it right, but i'm now piecing it together. I've completed the neck ribbing and the front left and right buttonbands. Those called for more stitches, but i didn't think i should squeeze them in, the band would have puckered. Do you all do the same, tailor the pattern depending on how you think about it? I didn't check my gauge and i'm sure this is why i'm having some problems. What kind of knitter am i when i don't check my gauge??... Should have it complete this weeekend and then i'll post pics.

Stacie has truly inspired me, she was like me, and said she wouldn't run unless someone was chasing her and she just completed her first mile running without stopping! So proud of her. Not sure i'll ever get to the point where i'm running, but i have to tackle this one step at a time.

The x-boyfriend did call me 3 times while I was at work the following day and leave messages, he sounded upset, sad, frantic, like he really needed to talk to me. I of course did not call him back, and i was sure he'd be calling me that evening, but he did not. I've left it alone and i can only pray for him. I hope he's ok, but i cannot be his saviour.
