A friend of mine was looking for a knitting project so she made a sweater for Diya. I loved it so much that I decided to make a matching one for Isha and here it is.
It was fun to try out cables. One thing I have learned about knitting is that most of the stuff that looks really hard is actually pretty easy. This knitted up very quickly and was fun to do. I made it a little big which is a good thing since it is already getting warm here. Now Isha can wear this in the fall and into the winter with a long sleeved shirt underneath.

Born To Run
Wow, it has been awhile since I have written about a book on this blog. Actually I haven't written much of anything here lately thanks to two little girls who keep me incredibly busy!!
I had put this on my "to read" list and a few days later at book club we all started talking and this book came up and since we were all runners we decided to read it. I loved this book!!! I really enjoy reading non-fiction so this was perfect for me. The book goes back and forth between "the greatest race the world has never seen" and the science of running. The chapter on how humans evolved into distance runners was really interesting. After reading this book I was even more inspired to keep running. Heck, I was even ready to cut some of the meat out of my diet because of what I read in this book and then "it" happened. I got injured. I guess it was bound to happen, but it was really discouraging. So now I am stuck in a walking cast for the next six weeks. At least I will have more time to read and knit.
