I Lied

This morning I said I was only going to de stashing one carrier bag of yarn. Well I exceeded my goal by also adding a shopping bag.  It will all leave the house this week. If you would like a chance to buy some of my de stashed yarn please watch for the time and date of the next Old Pueblo Knitting Guild Annual Yarn Sale. It happens in January every year. The Yarn Sale helps us support our on going charity projects.  For more on the Old Pueblo Knitting Guild just click this link. 

I also had a major oops. I told John that I did not have any more of his 3D printed Yarn Butler's, that I desperately needed him to print me another one.  Well,


I found the original prototype for the yarn butler, it has a purple base, a red spindle and a white yarn guide. Also the bolts on the bottom are not covered. This was definitely the proof of concept and not ready for prime time yarn butler. It still works very nicely.

Now I am off to wind yarn, finish 2 projects on the spinning wheel, get a few more yarn magazines out of the house. I will be dropping them off at the Oro Valley Library, Friends of the Library section.  They sell for 25 cents and help buy new books and other things that all libraries need.  Check them out if you are in the area. I will also be starting a new charity project. It’s going to be a busy day around here.

Keeping Busy

 Today I kept busy.  As of 7 p.m. I walked 12,500 steps or 5.2 miles.  I also attacked a few of the shelves in the sewing room.  I did not take a before pictures but the messy top shelf of the rack is what it looked like.  The picture is what some of the work today. A lot of skeins and kits were organized.  I also work on the closet organizing   I also filled 1 1/2 boxes with yarn, fiber and weaving supplies.  I am hoping that the friend who took the box last week will take these also.  

I spent part of the afternoon spinning.  First some pencil roving. Then some alpaca with silk.  I can say that I did keep myself to busy to think.  I am exhausted an so I am hoping to sleep tonight.  Then more tomorrow.
