De Stash

This is today’s de stash project. All these magazines are going to a friend who sells vintage.   A lot are over a decade old, this is vintage in the knitting world where the yarn companies try to bring out new yarn every 3 months.  A lot of them I bought before I knew how much I disliked knitting socks.  Others because I no longer need a pattern to knit hats, blankets  and scarfs.  Some of the styles will not a look good on my older self.  So out they go.  I decided not to count them, but I did put them into a box that I don’t have the lid for.  If I give the box with the Magazine’s does this count as de stash too?

On ward with more deep cleaning.  Zen on.

Weaving Loom Repairs

Why has no one ever told me that I would need 2 - 1/8 inch thick dowels to repair my loom.  Really is it to much for someone to say what supplies I need to keep on hand? Well off to the temptation store tomorrow morning.

We are now taking bets on how many things I actually buy.

More Inches Gone

It is that time of year again. As I am getting ready to change to my fall and winter wardrobe I am finding that some clothes have grown in size over the summer. I really don’t feel any thinner, but my clothes say otherwise.  Of the pants I tried on today 2 out of 3 pairs are now resting half way up my rib cage, in just what seems a very few months they grew too big. Darn I really liked on pair of pants.  So I will be going through my closet and trying on pants, shirts and skirts.  The items that are too big  will be going to Goodwill.  I really hope some of my favorite clothing will fit again.

Then once I have a good idea what I need, I will be scouting out the sale racks to see what I can find. Wish me luck in both shopping and good body days.

Projects 150 to 165

Including 1 scarf  for sale, 2 skeins of yarn for weaving. 3 hats for charity. Lastly 10 bibs for charity.

Project 149

Hat number 56 of 2019.  I almost feel like I am slacking. Some days it is too hectic to get anything done this year.

Projects 147 and 148

Two more charity hats.  I now have 55 hats finished for the year and the next 3 are on the knitting needles.  I just might make 60 hats this year.

6 Inches

I managed to find time to weave 6 more inches tonight on the very special one of a kind shawl for my sister in law.  Here is a small peak.  I know the lighting is not very good at night.  Once the shawl is off the loom and the finishing work is done, it will not be so see through.
