I was not able to get the perfume residue out of 2 pairs of my sleeping gloves aka my design, Maxi Fingerless Gloves. Also victim to this perfume problem was my sleeping sweater. I tried everything until it was suggested that I make new sleeping gloves. I have a pair that needs to be seamed up. I have also pulled some worsted weight yarn from Misti Cotton, a beautiful cotton and silk blend. Then a special collaboration between Lola Bean Yarn and Spin Cycle Yarn in a worsted weight wool yarn.
I have a solution for the sweater too I have lost enough weight and inches to pull an older but still very nice sweater from my closet. Which means that everything old is new again at some point in time. The only thing the sweater from my closet does not have is visible mending. Maybe a few years down the road this will happen to this sweater too..
The decision was made tonight to put the charity knitting aside until I finish the new gloves and a couple of shawls that are works in progress for me. The shawls will come with new patterns for you.
It has been raining here for 2 days so far. We have gotten 1 1/2 inches at the house so far. So instead of errands I spent the time finishing up my closet. Today I found a bunch of earrings. I sorted them out to keepers and Bookman’s trade. Since I don’t want to overwhelm them I will take in 6 pairs at a time. I say this because I went through 50+ years of earrings. I bet that you are not surprised that most of the earrings that I got in Junior High and High School did not make the keep pile. In fact a lot of really retro earrings are going to be leaving the house slowly for the next couple of months.
