I get it, I can't get away from it either.
My usual "happy, yarn filled" social media accounts, because I paused too long on a political or "bad news" posts is now filled with all kinds of doom and gloom, when all I want is five minutes away from the real world.
There is nothing wrong with staying informed and knowing what is going on in the world around you, but...let's take a breath, and pause for a few minutes and talk about yarn, knitting, (I would talk about crochet, too, but I know nothing about it other than how to use it to provisionally cast on, pick up run away knit stitches, and get myself out of a shawl using a fancy chain bind off), gardening, maybe even cooking and pets!
Ready?
Over the past 5 weeks, I have spent some time every Saturday and Sunday trying to get all the yarn I own to fit into a single room.
A reasonable person would de-stash/sell/give away the yarn that didn't fit (in an entire room!), but I opted to instead remove the air from the yarn to create more space.
Today I started in on taking the air out of the yarn that didn't even make it as far as "in boxes on the floor" of the yarn room.
Do I think that even with removing all of the air, the yarn will all fit in the space I have allocated for it? No, but if I wasn't saving an entire wall of drawers for The Drama Queen's Fabric stash, maybe. (More about that later)
That probably didn't take you five minutes to read, so do me, and yourself a favor, think about three good things that happened, or you made happen this week, and tell me what they were.
Until next time...
Try and knit happy!
