I have been on a two-week long cleaning binge here at my house... it started with my bedroom (I found my bedroom floor!!!!) and has been slowly progressing through the rest of my life. Those of you who know me know that I am not an incredibly neat person... so the enormity of this task is simply overwhelming. The joy of it all has been finding yarn that I forgot that I had, or the half finished projects that just need to be sewn up to be completed, but also that necessary de-stashing that has gone hand in hand with all of the discovery. I'm sending some of the yarn in a care package to a friend, but most of the yarn that I know I will never use is going to Lynn H. and her CityKidz Knit program. I love reading about all the great stuff these kids make and since I know that there is some of this stuff that I will just never use ever in my life, I figure it should go to someone who will use it and have fun with it!
I've also been knitting along on some of my projects here, including a baby blanket that I'm knitting for a friend who was an avid crotchetier when she was younger but arthritis has robbed her of her ability to craft with her hands any more. It's going to be a simple 9-square (maybe a 12-square depending on how big I end up making the squares) blanket with each square done in log cabin with a trio of blue shades then edged in white. I'm trying to make it big enough so that this kid will be able to use it as a toddler blanket and beyond – not just as a baby blanket. The only draw back is that it will be made of acrylic so it won't really be able to be a nap blanket, just a supervised use blanket, but I was given the yarn by my friend and asked to make it into a blanket and because it is a favor I'm using the yarn that she gave me.
No pictures today, I'll get going on that later this week. Happy Zombie Jesus Day!
