Wow, you have been here for a long time - and btw, have you seen the prices for the makeovers now??? Good thing we got in before she became too popular!

Hi Shelley, not only will you make a zillion billion scarves and mittens, you'll make a zillion billion dollars if you pitch this to a publisher!!!!! Before you know it, you'll be on Dr. Oz and we'll all say 'wow...we knew her when she was just a blogger.." :) Joking aside, what a great idea. Your second book can be about crocheting, and it'll be call the "Slim Hooker". OMG...did I actually write that???? sigh. I've lost it. Have a great day.

Thanks for commenting on my blog today:) Yours is actually one of the first ones I read way back when I started my own. (I still remember your great makeover when I was on the waiting list for the same blog designer!)

Last year I decided to (re)learn to knit. I had done it decades ago in high school, but never a lot or very advanced. I had my neighbor teach me. That didn't work so well. Then I tried online options. That worked better. My entire purpose was to keep my hands busy when I watch TV so I don't snack! Great minds think alike. And I also just discovered Downton Abbey by watching season one on Netflix. Fun.

Okay, I just might have to join the Downton Abbey bandwagon - and I ran across my knitting stuff just yesterday while working out in the garage. Cute scarf - love the yarn. I like to go to the yarn stores just to "pet" the textiles.

2012-01-23T21:00:40.696-06:00

I think it sounds fabulous, but I don't knit. I never learned to do any of that stuff. Can't sew, needle point, cross stitch, knit or crochet. Sigh..maybe someday. I guess I'm going to have to watch that Downtown Abbey and see what everyone is talking about!

Thanks for the tip, Maren - I just signed up!

Remember Sit and Be Fit? Lol Was exercise show.
I love your diet!! Are there any rules regarding having people feed you while knitting? Lol

2012-01-23T15:13:10.032-06:00

Love the color wave on your scarf! Can I tell you how many times I've undone something that was almost done and restarted because I found an unbearable error somewhere.

It's a great way to control the food intake, and all that finger movement must burn a few cals per hour!

Haha, I like the way you think, Kyle!

Knitting? Debby taught me a few weeks ago, so this is my first go at it. I tried it a few years back but couldn't catch on - this time, it clicked.

I know - the show not only has an interesting story, but it's so visually appealing as well!

Thank you, my knitting sensai!

Great and practical hobby...and any idea can sell...get "Sit and Knit" copy-written...buy the domain, the FB and Twitter handles, etc...just in case!

After all, you could also knit while perched on a fitness ball for a core strength workout!

Whatever works! I just want the road trip Sit and Snack diet to actually start working...ooops.

I just started watching Downton Abbey, too! I love, love the sets. Just gorgeous!

LOL, I'm afraid I have the evidence to prove your diet wrong--lots of gorgeous sweaters with a 60 inch circumference. Somehow I managed to get plenty of food in while knitting, spinning, dying, and processing the fiber.

But I agree. Having your hands busy, and more important, your mind occupied, is a good tool to keep your mind off the food. LOL at the cat and dog hair being incorporated. And good job on the knitting! I'm so proud of you!
