I’ve been doing
my fall cleaning for over the past week.
I took all shoes and clothes out of my closet then vacuumed and
shampooed the carpet. I got down on my
knees and scrubbed the baseboards and washed the walls. This only happens once a year for my closets (if
that) because I’m a busy girl !
Literally I
had a hill…no. I had a tiny
mountain…no. I’ll say that I had a mound
of clothes and other accessories on my bed and while dividing the summer items
from the fall/items I came across a few pieces of clothing that I had forgotten
all about. Like 9 pieces of clothing. This doesn’t even include the new shoes I’d
forgotten. Some of them were summer
items and some were fall and all had price tags on them and the shoes were
still in the boxes. It was like I had my
own private mall. All things were from
Macy’s, Belk’s and Old Navy. Really now,
what does this mean when a woman finds tagged items in her closet that she had
forgotten about ? Does this mean said
woman is shopping too much ? Hmmm, I
really had to think about this and you know what ? I think the Woman is just fine. She just needs to check her closet more
often. Yes. That’s it.
There, problem solved.
I went to my
other closet which use to be 100% knitting space but has somehow changed to 45%
knitting and 55% clothes and I cleaned that closet also. I straightened out all yarn in their boxes
and drawers and you know what, I found
some sort-of-forgotten yarn. In other
words, I am remembering my yarn a lot more than the clothes and shoes I
buy. This makes perfect sense to
me.
In one of
the drawers I found my Fetching mitts that I had completed long ago. They were just sitting there with strings
dangling, a little wrinkled from being squished and just begging to be noticed,
blocked and worn. I listened and I
blocked and added the completed Fetching photo to My Ravelry page.
Pattern: Fetching
Yarn: Creative Focus Worsted by Nashua Handknits in
Carolina Blue
Needles: US 6
Needles: US 6
Shame on Me
because this is the photo that has been sitting on my Ravelry page for ages and
I had it checked as completed. Tsk…tsk…
As I remember, I made them to go with this Dogwood hat.
So, I
confess. Today is FO Friday and though
these Fetching’s have been done for a while, I am posting the completed photo
for the first time. You have to give me
a pass on this. Okay ?
Have a
Wonderful weekend !!!

You're inspiring me to clean out my closet! Thanks.

Lovely mittens!

Oooh, I love your bar-of-shawls on the right-hand side!
I was scrounging for some yarn the other day, with which to make legwarmers, and found three entire skeins of 100% wool that I had completely forgotten about. It was like Christmas came early!
I love the fetching pattern, but maybe they beg to be mistreated? I only ever made one and then forgot about it......I should really look for the one I finished!
Your mitts look great! I love finding things that I really do love but had just forgotten about!
Thanks for visiting my blog :)
Those look very soft.
I wondered what happened to those. Very nice.
