There is a new baby addition to my extended family anticipated this fall. My nephew and his wife are “expecting”. In uncharacteristic fashion for me, I cast on as soon as they announced the sex of the baby. I am apparently trainable. Can you guess which variety of human it will be? The yarn is from Frolicking Fibers, the color is Sapphire. It can't get any bluer than that. The ultrasound better be accurate, is all I have to say. I'm NOT saying what this will be, but right now it's eleventy billion rows of garter stitch in fingering weight sock yarn. Please send whisky.
In other news, I'm still rocking the Peloton bike. I'm coming up on my 50th ride next week, probably Friday. It is not overstating things to say that this is changing my life. For the first time in decades I've found an exercise that I love enough to drag my sorry butt out of bed at 4:45 AM to ride before work. I did my first 60 minute ride yesterday, then got up at 5:15 today, yes on a Saturday not-work day, to ride along with the crazy friend who talked me into this. It was her 500th ride today. I lost some weight initially, it's since leveled off, but I've lost inches, and I'm much stronger already in only 2 months of riding most days of the week. I could not have done a 60 minute endurance ride two months ago.
Last but not least, I'll leave you with a Zoe photo. She has settled in well here, and surprisingly she and Will have become best buddies. She is still growing and gaining weight, I think she is going to be a big cat.

I can’t wait to see the blue all knitted up!
I am impressed with your Peloton bike progress. I wish I could afford one, I’m pretty sure I would really like it.
I do know for sure that I LOVE Miss Zoe!
I’m curious to see what all that blue will become! How exciting to have the family grow. We’re expecting twin grandsons any day now, and are so thrilled about seeing our family grow, too. Can’t wait to meet them!!
Congratulations on your bike riding!!! Glad you’ve found an ‘exercise’/sport that you’re really enjoying. That’s one super bike you own. Does she have a name?
By the way, Miss Zoe is just gorgeous. So happy that she’s thriving in her new home.
Our dearly departed Gable, also a black cat, had the same baldin slants in front of his ears. Sort of comforting to see them again.
Those cat eyes! I’ve been learning how to paint them and those are a beautiful example.
