If it is all possible, I am doing more Zenning around the house. It’s a good way to end the year. I figured that the first day back from vacation was the best day to start. At breakfast I made my to do list, which was not comprehensive. I started with the den fireplace and removed all my spinning and weaving projects and supplies. Everything has a new home. Even the skein of yarn that went to the Goodwill box
This lead to needing more shelf space in the knitting room. So I went on a Sugar and Cream hunt. I almost filled a 32 quart box. I decided not to finish the 2 blankets in the bag so they went into dog pillow stuffing. They were not even a complete block of a 9 block pattern. Sometimes to move forward I need to let go of things that are not in the least bit useful. I have learned that it is not necessary to keep or complete every project, or reuse the yarn. I even put the knitting needles and accessories in their proper homes.
I came up with an absolutely brilliant idea for a color combination for my next pounder scarf. So I went on a hunt for black worsted weight yarn. The black combined with a very bright and bold variegated yarn will make a nice one of a kind scarf. I will be winding additional skeins of black worsted weight yarn tomorrow. The scarfs after that will either be black and white or a scrappy scarf of many colors. I have the first 2 1/2 rows knit and I am in love with the combination of yarns. I also finished one hat and another pounder scarf tonight. I call them pounders because each weighs in at at least 17 ounces. They are also 6 feet long, which is good for a cold climate. Pictures are going to happen tomorrow.
The most interesting part of the day was watching John. When I finished cleaning up the fire place, he had to do more dusting and tie up the cables to make things look even better. He then went on to his own cleaning agenda. I can’t wait to see where this leads us.
Well my typing hand is getting really cranky so I will call an end to this post.
