Wine Tasting + Sage Green Cowl

Earlier this week I finished a sage green neckie to match a hat I received in a swap package (seen here). I really love this pattern! It's quick to knit up, and easy to wear with the single button closure. This wool felt really soft to the touch while I was working on it, but when I put it up to my neck, it was really scratchy. Solution: soak the finished neckie in warm water with hair conditioner - worked like a charm!

Yesterday was a beautiful day after a week of heavy rain. To enjoy the perfect weather, we went to a couple wineries in Malibu for some wine tasting! One of my favorite ways to spend a day! =D

Yesterday marked the completion of my second week following the "Couch to 5K" running program! I'm honestly so proud of myself for staying on track - I haven't missed a day yet. Unfortunately, yesterday was also the first time I got shin splints since starting the program. I'm prone to getting them easily so I was kind of shocked that I hadn't yet. I'm hoping my body will adjust and I'll get them less often.

Now back to my lazy Sunday filled with reality TV and a current WIP...

  1. I started week two of Couch to 5k today and it's actually pretty intense for me! I can't wait until I finish it.

    I bought a foam roller for my shin splints and it really helps. (Or just a rolling pin!)

    Going to a winery over the weekend sounds like a blast to me!
