I don't get many comments on this blog, but when I do, I'd like to respond to them. However, for the life of me, I can't email them personally because I don't get a copy of their email address. There must be some way to do this. If you know how to find the email address of people who leave comments, please leave a comment with directions on how to do this. Thanks!
So I'll just publicly thank Judy for her comment regarding my rug. I also liked how the shading came out. When I was weaving, the shading seemed too abrupt, but when placed on the floor the color changes appear more shaded and less abrupt. I used 3 plys of yarn and would change colors 1 ply at a time. I plan on doing more rugs with shading because it was fun to do. I was attempting to produce a type of rug that doesn't take forever for me to weave and yet still has some tapestry work in it.
Today, I'm winding a warp for some cotton towels using foxfibre 10/2 cotton for some Christmas presents. I have another rug almost completed.
The only other news is that I'm on a diet. I've been Very overweight for the last 15 years. I had my one and only child when I was 39 and put on a lot of weight and have never lost it and over time have kept getting heavier. I never used to have problems losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight until I hit 40 and had a lot of weight to lose and I guess I just didn't care enough to or felt I had reason enough to lose the weight. I just have been unable to get to point where I was willing to take responsibility for my weight and have the attitude it takes to drop the pounds I need to because it's really all about attitude (at least I think so). It's how I quit smoking years ago. With the right attitude, difficult things become easier. Anyway, I've lost 6-1/2 pounds and feel optomistic for the first time in a long time that this is doable.
So, wish me good luck on my journey to better eating and exercise habits. I'd really like to knit me a sweater that looks good on me!

I commiserate on the weight loss journey! Mine is health induced (too many nasty things happen in my family as we get older due to age and weight), so know I'm cheering for you.
I am helping Kristy respond to all the knitters that have signed up for CAP!Thank you so much! We are so excited about the tremendous response! We are sure that this will be a success. If you have any questions you can e-mail at grandmotherpurl@hotmail.com
I have had the same struggle with replying to comments. The only way I really know is to look for a link in the profile. That's the best I know.
Thank you so much for signing up to knit a square(s) for the Grandmother Purl blanket. I can't wait to see what everyone does!
