And another night of being disturbed by the cat. But it means that I should be tired enough to sleep on the plane tomorrow. As I started the first load of laundry today and attempted to figure out what I was taking with – a large pile of sweaters came down on my head.
Ok. That just might be the hint I needed to sort them and place all the good ones (read wool) into sweater bags. So I first yanked all of them down from the closet shelf and started folding them on the bed.
and then I decided to sort them into the bought
vs the sweaters & vests that I had knit
turns out the numbers are about even. Of note, there are seven Hanne Falkenberg sweaters (Danish Designer) and the rest are stranded projects. Of the store bought, most area also of the stranded pattern/Scandinavian looking designs
The challenge is that almost of all these were knit around 2011 or before. German winters can be cold, I wore sweaters a lot. Same with the UK, especially considering the really poor heating where I lived and worked. Now? California is mild. It rarely gets about 28*C and almost never below 11*C. My need for sweater is almost non-existent. A sweatshirt does fine, or shirt with a zip up vest.
Ah, well. after dealing with the sweaters, I packed my suitcase. We leave early in the morning. I think it is United to Toronto then Air Canada to Edinburgh. George has enough miles built up on Lufthansa to do multiple upgrades. We learned from the last trip that letting the travel folks book means lousy times, seats, and connections.
