It's a Yoga Kind of Day

This morning I went to my yoga class at the rec center. I go twice a week for this class, and I do like the instructor. However, this morning she was in California and had not arranged for anyone else to take the class. People started to look at me - I have the cool yoga clothes, so I said I would lead the class. The director came in and put on the music and put me in the mike thing, and we started off. I have led only one other class, but I teach so I was fairly comfortable with doing this. I got applause at the end, probably because one of the other instructors would have done core work for an hour that is thinly disguised as yoga. I concentrated on neck and shoulder work and a really good relaxation at the end. The wellness director said that they would pay for my certification the next time it was offered. I think I will do it.

I am stuck a bit on the Coriolis socks. Markers B and E will collide into each other the first time I decrease for the spiral bit up the leg. When I get home I will finish turning the heel (second sock) and then see what I have missed in the directions. I'm not sure what B is doing there anyway. E tells me when to increase and decrease. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get it tonight. The Vogue shrug is almost across my back, and I am dreading the twisting yarn I will have to untangle as I circle through the front. I love the colors (Lorna's Laces Watercolor worsted) and the pattern, but it is a pain. I'm going to bag the balls and do some judicious untwisting as I work to keep everything in order. The Dr. Who scarf is coming along nicely for DFH for Valentines. and the Koigu toreador jacket is always a joy to work on. Do I have enough projects? No, of course not. I have some bamboo-cotton yarn on the way for a skirt and vest, some lace weight for a shawl, and I'm going to my LYS tomorrow where they just got in some hemp. Perfect for the aging hippie woman. I plan on making the Trumpet Skirt from an Interweave magazine. I don't have it, but people at the shop do. But I must make a solemn vow to myself that I will not cast on anything else until I get something finished - really finished, not just cast off. THOU SHALT NOT CAST ON.
