I Heard A Rumor

... about a weekend. Was there recently a weekend? If so, I completely missed it. Ok, really, I knew it was the weekend, but I was way to busy to enjoy it. Friday night brought my black belt test. According to my instructor and the score sheet he let me look at, I passed. I don't really remember much of it, but word is I passed and did quite well. What a relief! Saturday was full of more karate-related activities. We had a workshop in the morning and then went horseback riding in the afternoon, and had dinner at Keith's house Satuday night. Yesterday I went with my mom to see my brother. Four hours each way makes for good knitting time. I finished my shrug. Well, I still have to graft it together, but the knitting is done. I spent some time last night reading up on grafting. Thanks PumpkinMama for the instructions on grafting k2p2 ribbing. I sure hope I can make this work.

Now it's time to start on the Backyard Leaves scarf for Blossom - my SYNO swap pal, and work on Ronnie for the Christmas gift.

Have a great Monday.

Woohoo! Congratulations on getting your black belt. That's so awesome! What's next up for you in karate - is there something after a black belt?

Way to go! Our weekend was more hectic than I wanted, too, so I know what you mean. I, however, did not PASS MY BLACK BELT! That should make up for the rest!

Gotta love those busy weekends, well at leat this upcoming one is a 3-day one.

Guess what, Abner is on his way home as I type! My husband picked him up. Yeah, he has a ton of medications to take but he's coming home, that's the most important thing!

Sensei Stephanie, was there ever any doubt you would pass your karate test? Congratulations!! So now would you consider designing/knitting a Gi?

That's awesome about the black-belt! You are amazing! You decorate, knit, sew and kick some serious butt! Rock on!!!

Can't wait to see the completed shrug. I bet it looks great.

Don't sweat about the weekend. There's another one coming right around the corner... and it's a nice, long one. :)
