just some little tidbits to share...
i thought i had a bug infestation when i found a little worm (?) shell stuck on the glue of a yarn band of the granny socks i'm knitting. i store my sock yarn in an acid free box and a straw wicker box and wound some balls of yarn while checking for nuisances. i didn't find anything but one ball of yarn kept pulling apart as i wound it (it was towards the beginning of the ball, maybe it was defective from the beginning. i think i'll start a pair of socks with that yarn (as soon as my needles arrive) and see what happens. i also cleaned out a wicker picnic hamper that's storing the afghan yarn, entrelac pillow yarn and odd yarn that i got at the farm show. i wound that too and didn't find anything. i made lavender sachets with old knee highs (good thing i didn't throw them away when i was cleaning last week) so hopefully that's a preventative measure. i have some other sock yarn that could be wound (my trekking yarn) but my shoulder was killing me and i stopped winding for the day. maybe i'll finish those skeins later.
secondly, i started swimming laps at my old alma mater a couple times a week (hence the sore shoulder, definitely not from knitting). when did college people become so damn rude? nobody says hello when you pass them on campus, and the secretary in the gym complex (yes, it's become a complex) wasn't very nice. bad case of the mondays? try treating your alum a little better. and smile for damn sake.
thirdly, i have very ungreen neighbors. they threw away a toddler bed with mattresses, a fan, a kiddie dressing table amongst other things. now i don't make a habit of picking around people's trash, but the stuff looked serviceable to me. i wonder why they didn't take the stuff to salval or goodwill or something. i hate seeing people through stuff out like that. i feel guilty trying to figure out what to do with old lingerie that i can't send to the church rummage sale (for obvious reasons) or salval/goodwill (i don't think they take that kind of stuff). well, at least my red teddie won't be hanging out of a garbage can, that's for sure.
i ordered knit picks needles to see if they're better than the addi turbos. i also bought more sock yarn (who knows why) and some worsted weight called chisholm (my tartan surname). can't wait to get my hands on the stuff.
funny. when i started this post i thought i had a lot to say. guess i don't have much to talk about at all.
