ursulas_alcoveToday was a day of cleaning and restocking. Laundry got done. Dishes got done. Got Hubby into the shower. It's several flights of steps but he is getting better at this. He helped hand-sweep the steps in the living room and I did the living room carpet. Cardboard got cut up for recycling. I must have a shoe box for every pair of shoes I bought in the last 40 years. Yes, they made that meme about me. They were perfectly good boxes. I suspect Christmas presents used to get bought and shipped in brown paper and shoe boxes. I think even Mom wrapped the shoe boxes in aluminum foil and brought cookies in to work for Christmas. Saving boxes is so ingrained. Anyway, the house looks better. I still have many more cardboard boxes to go through.
I have been working on restocking the linen. Several new colors of 40/2 got added to UrsulasYarn.Etsy.com . I still have to wind more 16/2 linen and more 10/3 hemp. Been playing around with my schedule to see when it's best to take pictures. Today I used the east window sometime around noon. By 2 pm, it gets too dark. Weird but we have mountains the sun hides behind. Here's another project I am working on, linen thread cards for people who only need just a little bit, not the full 375 yards.
Just before dinner, I got a little weaving done on the rectangular shawl. I think that's about 15" so far.
I haven't worked on the tri-loom today or yesterday, but here's the Prisma coral and chestnut shawl. I'm doing a twill. A lot of the dark colored yarn was dyed during the 2nd Bush administration. I think there were a lot of depressing colors going on at the time, or perhaps "conservative" is a better choice of words. Let's just call it an autumn color. I will brighten it up a bit by finishing it with a crocheted edge in a cranberry wool.
While we reorganized the dining room yesterday, I found two more totes of yarn, including the two skeins I was looking at buying on eBay. Score! I saved a lot by cleaning my house. There will be more ribbon shawls. I can't wait to finish so I can get the next one started!
