Yarn!

Purlescence Yarns held a yarn swap on Sunday in keeping with the Knitter’s Review slow stashing idea.

I rummaged through the fiber bins on Saturday and picked out the things that no longer made me happy or that I just really couldn’t see myself ever actually knitting.  This included a whole plastic bin of the stuff that I bought back when I first started knitting over 6 years ago (e.g., Homespun and Wool Ease).  I figured that if someone wanted it they could take it, otherwise, everything left on the swap table at the end of the day was to be donated to charity.  Either way, it’s out of my apartment.  Surprisingly, someone actually took the sweater’s worth of Wool Ease I had brought.

I came back with 2 bags of mostly sock and laceweight yarns.  Now, they will be going through quarantine.  I think I’m going to do it the quick and dirty way and stick everything in a garbage bag with a few moth balls.  There’s too much to stick in the freezer.  Besides, I don’t think The Husband would appreciate opening the freezer door looking for vodka only to find sock yarn.

Catch it now before it goes away

My professor gave me full credit for my final project. Yea! But she has said that she’ll be cleaning out our files sometime this week, so see it while you can. An important note: my website seems to only work in IE at the moment as FireFox has handling issues with the JavaScript I used. I don’t know if it’ll work in Safari as I haven’t checked it on my home machine, but if someone tries it and it works, let me know.

Edit: My professor has removed all my files from the server, so no more pretty website.
