I am getting down to the minutia off the cleaning and stash busting project. I went through the last tub of yarn that was in the house. I am actually going through stitch markers and getting rid of the ones that I don’t like. I will pass them on. I am now actively searching out bags that I keep my knitting accessories in. With the exception of the hat knitting bags, I am going to try to have one multi purpose roll. Wish me luck on that.
I lost one plastic tub do to the fact that a bag of yarn I had in a tub was exposed to moth balls. I threw away the offending 4 skeins of yarn. I am going to try to remove the moth ball chemicals. There ere several methods to try. I have the first one going right now. I am trying to neutralize the chemicals with baking soda. If that does not work I will try vinegar. It takes about a week. What I was most surprised about was that I had de stashed so much yarn that losing the use of one tub did not make a difference. I did not have to go buy a replacement. Since the offending tub was less expensive than the yarn we are more inclined not to get the chemicals of the moth balls out of the plastic and just toss the tub.
In more exciting news I was able to move all of my hidden yarn into tubs. I moved it into other places that I can see it. No longer have a larger wicker chest filled with yarn. It is also leaving the house. I did forget one area of projects but I will finish that after the table is finished.
Now even more exciting news I walked for over 10,000 steps while cleaning house today. Since I have a room to finish tomorrow I think it’s time to call it a day.
