I’m not trying to post really frequently, but I seriously had a knitting dream last night!
There were a lot of details in this dream–friends driving friends to get to dinner, deciding to turn back for no apparent reason, warnings of a cold that you could catch in windy conditions–but the knitting part:
I finally watched this week’s episode (part 1 of the finale). The following is not a spoiler, just some Laura love:
I adore that when Tim asked for their receipts, Laura apparently had a spreadsheet. (You don’t see it in the episode at all; Tim mentions it in his podcast.) That’s the kind of thing I would have done!
There are some of you with spreadsheets cataloging all your stash–I haven’t gone that route yet. I should have made one when I did the massive stash purge, but I can do it upon move-in, I suppose! I have so little, I’m not sure it’s all that necessary, but I actually think it would be fun to do, if I had some time to devote to it.
Yesterday I sat with the stash. Well, the stash that doesn’t sit next to the couch. And you know what? I purged it like nobody’s business. There were tangled skeins not worth keeping, bulky yarns I will never want to use, and more acrylic than I’d like to admit.
I thought about making stuff available to you guys, but there was so little, really, and pretty much none of it had a label or was a full skein. It wasn’t worth anything to anybody. And now it’s gone!
I finished the Pomatomus for the boy’s mom. This pair will be her Christmas present.
First off, I’m late. It’s October 5, and I haven’t yet said anything about this fabulous month-long sock celebration. Of course, I’ve been a leeeeetle busy. (Aside: I found an apartment yesterday! Upper East Side, eensy weensy 1 bedroom. Boy, the apartment hunt sucked, in every way. I was that woman you see crying on the subway. For real. But it’s over now!)
It’s not too late to jump right in to Socktober. Later today I’ll be able to show my finished Pomatomi–I kitchenered using a bobby pin as a needle last night! (Once I’m back in Philly, I will sew in the ends using an actual needle.)
Here’s the excellent little questionnaire Lolly posted, with my answers!
