Not Dead, but Getting There
There is new yarn in the store since my last post; some sock yarns and some felting yarns. Gorgeous, bright colors! They are double-dip kettle-dyed, which essentially means they were put through 2 dye baths. All of my new sock yarns so far are named after food. I wonder if I was hungry when I named them?
I have been scarce for a month because of the move. It took SO much longer than expected, but luckily I had a few wonderful friends who helped out. I could not have done it without them.
We got to the new place and discovered that the stairway up to the 2nd floor apartment was a narrow hall with a 90-degree turn! It was terrible trying to get stuff up there, and we ended up tossing several large pieces of furniture because they wouldn’t fit.
And finally, on my way up to New York this weekend, I stopped to visit a friend in DC. My car window was smashed in overnight. Yay! This person must have been really stupid, because they stole a bag of yarn (and 2 cashmere sweaters) out of the back of the car and ran. They found nothing else of value, because I don’t leave valuables in the car. But they took my yarn. My YARN!
I guess they decided it wasn’t valuable to them (go figure) and dumped it, because we found the bag on the ground around the corner. everything in it was fine…I guess it’s a good thing for my car and my yarn that it didn’t rain. The window is supposedly getting fixed today.
This is why I hate moving.
