I finished my 11th half of the year today. I also spent a good portion of the day cleaning. I have completely filled the bottom portion of the recycling bin today. In my cleaning, I still have not found the silver storage container that I have two pairs of gloves in. It’s been a busy day so I think it’s going to be a short blog.
Blogger is having trouble uploading my photo tonight.
Well it is that time again. I have worn out another set of U.S. size 13 (9.0mm) rosewood double pointed knitting needles. Because I knit so many hats a year my wooden knitting needles tend to wear out fairly quickly. I like rosewood because they last longer than the much less expensive bamboo needles. I usually can get 50 to 60 hats out of the bamboo knitting needles. I can usually get a 2 to 3 of years out of the rosewood knitting needles.
By worn out I really mean that the wood is splintering. No amount of sanding or beeswax will fix them at this point. I really hate splinters and I don’t want the kids to get them either. So I pulled out my spares and will throw out the much loved double pointed knitting needles. Then I will look for a good sale to replace my spares.
