I managed to put in several hours more of cleaning/sorting/reorganizing the craft room. As a result, walking across the floor right now could be viewed as a bit hazardous as I am partway through sorting several bins.
And then, of course, I have found more things that can be donated. Cheap yarn that looked like a good deal, but wasn’t, a lot of small cloth sip bags, some of which have come from airlines over the years, and all the candles I could lay my hands on. I also found more things that can potential go down to the garage. Now all I have to do is pull out the last of some bins, sort through them, sort most of my floss into smaller bins by dyer and finish covers for a number of notebooks.
Nah, nothing, right?
After putting 144 stitches into a project, I decided to finish out the all the knitting I had pulled out of two cabinet drawers. This resulted in four things completely frogged (or was it five) since they weren’t really worth finishing. Seven more scarves and shawls that only needed ends woven in leaving me only one for the morning.
Suggestion from one of the women in one of my Zoom stitching groups – the Ten Stitch Blanket (spiral version) by Frankie Brown found on Ravelry. The double spiral version looked like it might be fun and could use up yarn – always a good thing =
so this is the start. Two ombre yarns on size 5mm needles. the outside one is obviously blue, the other is actually grey. The next section will be 20 stitches across (10 of first the blue, then the grey) with stitch pick up the the blue edge. 10 ridges (=20 rows) and I will get to do another short row corner. From here, each section will get longer and longer, but there is ZERO sewing together which is what makes it lovely.
Off to get some sleep…. still running really, really tired and there is a lot of trash to take out tomorrow before the pickup on Monday….
