This is the dishcloth that I knit while taking it easy on my back on Friday! It is based on the diagonal knit stitch from The Harmony Guides 450 Knitting Stitches, Volume 2. Here's the pattern if you'd like to knit it up for yourself! (I used Sugar n Creme's pink lilacs)
Make knot - P3 together leaving sts on needle, yrn, then purl same 3sts together again
CO 32 sts
Knit 4 rows for boarder
Row 1 (and all odd rows) RS: Knit across
Row 2: K2, *make knot* rep from * to last 3 sts, p1, k2
Row 4: K2, p2, *make knot*, rep from * to last 4 sts, p2, k2
Row 6: K2, p1, *make knot* rep from * to last 2 sts, k2
When you have reached your desired length, knit 4 more rows for boarder and bind off!
Enjoy!

Getting pregnant wasn't supposed to be this difficult.
I was so excited to start trying to conceive this cycle but it's not going so smoothly! I was sure that after reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility, I would be armed with everything I needed to know to get pregnant quickly. I've been pretty good about observing my fertility signs but they haven't been very good about cooperating with each other! I was expecting a long cycle because of my body getting back to normal after the miscarriage but I also thought that the fall may have delayed ovulation. ARRGGGG..... I just don't know!! How am I supposed to start taking my progesterone the day after I ovulate if I can't figure out when I ovulated! THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!
Anyway... I'm not going to stress about this. I know I've got time and stressing won't solve or change anything. So I guess I'll just wait for a clear shift on my chart and go from there! If you'd like to put your 2 cents in on if I ovulated or not yet, click on the ticker above (the little ladybug!) which will take you to my fertility friend chart and ovulation poll.
Still snowing here... could go on and off all day. It's pretty but there was a lot of freezing rain and/or sleet last night so I'm not even going to chance going out today! The driveway is probably a sheet of ice!
Have a great one!

Ouch.
Well, I've had an interesting few days. I've been so proud of myself for getting back to the gym after being stuck in the house because of the snow and then on Friday morning (after I did my yoga DVD, thankfully) as I was taking some things down to the basement, I wasn't paying attention and missed the second step. Arrgg... picture me sliding, on my butt, all the way down to the bottom, hands full of boxes and such. I'm not seriously injured but my elbows and sacrum are definitely quite bruised! I've been taking it easy - got lots of knitting done on Friday! - and don't feel terrible but Friday seemed like it was going to be a good baby making day! My chart is still a bit wonky after my miscarriage in January so I'm still not sure if I've ovulated or not 
. Anyway... we'll keep working on it till I see a clear thermal shift on my chart (which may be as soon as tomorrow) and then I'll start taking my progesterone.
It's snowing here again - very pretty. The weather people have no idea what to expect so I may be spending another few days in the house (which I have absolutely no problem with!)
Got some scrapbooking done today which was nice. I'm going to get back to some knitting as we watch the Simpsons, etc. this evening. Guess I'd better get to it rather than just talking about it. Hope to get some knitting pictures up soon. I tried a flickr badge but it doesn't seem to be working properly.
Have a great evening!
