I never post BUT I wanted to join in the #wavesweaterkal with @spektakelstrik .
Super enjoyable quick knit. Loving the pink on pink.
After some deliberation about material I went totally off piste with vintage mohair! And I’m going off piste with the pattern too, having starter for S/M but needing to go up to L/XL. Remember to swatch correctly, kids!
This didn’t go well for a number of reasons, reason number 1 going out raving the weekend of comp 🥴😎 But life was lived and comp was done, bomb averted and qualification totals achieved. Missing 3 lifts in a row is scary, but it’s my first C&J attempt that really stings. HOWEVER, I had the best day you could possibly have in a freezing cold warehouse with my training besties @im_elicia@kelmckeeman@wedgenib@kiamartinx , under the watchful eye of the best coach @jennyt811 Was hoping to hit those missed lifts in the gym this week, instead I’m in bed with a cold. Roll on 2023, the year of getting strong!
Top day out at @yorkshire.strength ! 60-75 today and a PB total 135, annoyingly as 87+ today but I’ll take it. Goal was to manage my nerves and not do any powers, and I sort of managed that. Thanks @northtynesidebarbells for stellar coaching today, really nice to meet you and I will visit soon.
1. Came back to a decent tomato harvest after two weeks away but other than that the garden wasn’t worth bothering with this year.
2. Jerusalem artichoke that’s well over 3m now.
3. It’s good to be back in my jungle 💚
