In fact, this year, I am going to give away a lot of my stashed yarn. I just need to get rid of it, and pass it to some people who will use it. Higs, Katherine |

I totally agree, guys. I am contemplating a move to be closer to my
son and his wife (they live in Texas)---I call it my "Five-Year Plan"---So in line with that, I am having a big Yard Sale next weekend. I opened a closet door, and there was----MY STASH....Growing, ever growing.... I had picked up knitting again after a hiatus (my cats were so amused by the ends of my knitting needles when they were kittens that I could no longer knit!)...They're grown now, so I'm knitting again.... Anyway, lots of yarns from early days long, long ago when I bought lots of inexpensive acrylic that I no longer want to use...a MONSTER skein (must weight 2 lbs) of bright yellow, another of green....Even some recent yarns that I was attracted to that turned out to be monsters to work with (chenilles). So I spent a couple of hours sifting through them, bagging them up in ziplock bags for sale at the yard sale...I kept more than my share of acrylics and ALL of my good wools, but I will breathe a sigh of relief when the stash is thinned out a bit. Too much is just too much. For me, at least, it becomes almost a burden to look at instead of a pleasure to enjoy. Wendy A Knitting Fool in CT |

Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of your work. I loved the
beadwork and all your other crafts. Your garden is like a little piece of heaven. I'm so glad you shared your website. Murielle "Shirley Shone" wrote in message ...

When I was working, knowing I would only get a small pension when I retired, I bought many cones of yarn for my knitting machine whilst I was still in work. I got them at shows and other places. Thinking I would have a good stash to go at. They filled the shelves in my workroom, there were over 300 cones. Alas the day after I retired I was put on the waiting list for a heart bypass which I had 5 months later. After the bypass I found it was too painful to use my knitting machine. I got an excruciating pain in my back. I still get that pain in my back when ironing, similar arm action. Apparently something was trapped in my back when they spragged my ribs open. Those cones stood there mocking me. It was getting to the time when machine knitting took a dive and no one wanted to buy cones. One day I took the plunge and bagged them all up and gave them to a knitting group who made things for the under privilege children abroad. There was well over a thousand pounds worth of yarn. Still someone somewhere benefited by it. The shelves soon filled up with my current hobbies of greeting card making. Beadwork, even knitting with wire. I have just made my own jewellery for GD's wedding next week and I also made her wedding stationery. Pictures on my website under beadwork and wedding pictures.

Thank you Murielle.
The garden is under renovation work at the moment. The very wet summer killed a lot of the plants and DH found that the woodwork supporting the shrubs and climbers had rotted. So for safety's sake he is having to take them down. Maybe since we are both in our 70's it is time to make it more manageable without having to climb to prune climbers. The wedding went fine and I will post some pictures in a few days time Shirley In message ts%Ji.96314$bO6.92926@edtnps89, Murielle writes Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of your work.

I've just completed a great wee baby shoe project that is ideal for
using up odds and ends of yarn: http://vintagepurls.net.nz/2007/09/29/antidote/ I found the pattern through Ravelry (yes, my wait is over - I got my invite a week or so ago) but it's freely available - the link is available on the above page. I'll definitely make these again and I plan to do them in a different weight yarn and needle size to make a larger pair. If you have a Ravelry login you can find my project details at: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/vint...artjes-bootees VP |
