Back to Normal

Haven't worked OT for two weeks now, so can actually think about knitting. Have completed a drop stitch scarf for Mum with the Alpaca yarn I was trying to knit Flurries with, finally got the pattern right and realised in just wasn't going to look anything with the colour way. So went back to basics. I think I cast on this yarn about 20 times in the end and it stood up very well . Maybe going back to Tassie in November so will try and pick up some more.

DH is working again and getting paid well, may not be that long term but hopefully will get us debt free accept for the mortgage by Christmas.

Having visitors in the next few days which meant the craft room needed tidying, so could be slept in. Picked up some clever cube shelves from Bunnings for the stash all over the floor got a 1.5 x 1.5m , which has 16 cube shelves. You can then get solid drawers or cloth drawers , dividers and so on. got 8 cloth drawers quite sturdy very adequate for yarn. Would have left it open , but our new adopted cat likes to run off with balls of yarn like she's carrying a kitten, it's quite funny really. She doesn't do to much damage to the yarn fortunately, but better not to happen at all. Can fit in another so will get one soon to store the stash hiding in blanket box and cupboard in the lounge room. At just on $200 including drawers I thought it was good value
