Today I tackled over 20 years of accumulated knitting patterns. On this first cut I got rid of almost all the lace patterns. Also patterns that were aspirational at the time, as I will have the skills to knit these some day. Well a long story shortened, I have the knitting skills and I no longer want to knit them. I emptied three 2 inch binders plus took some out of 3 inch binders. I will bring them to the next knitting guild meeting so other knitters can pick and choose patterns that were published pre Ravelry days by indie designers I even had to start a second bag to accommodate all the knitting patterns that are leaving. Next on the agenda is to make a second cut as to what I can realistically make. This should cut thing’s further, however that will take more time. So today I cleaned off 8 inches of shelf space. John and I are happy about that.
To be filed under they don’t make things like they use too. The television we bought when Eric was no longer able to go on vacations about 15 years ago, died this week. John picked out a great model, don’t ask, because I don’t know. I stayed home for that shopping trip with all that new technology. I really did not want to break the store. I do know that it is about the same size and has a better picture quality than the old one. I sat and knitted while I watched them install it. 3 technicians and John.
A busy but wonderful day.
