maintenance
Last week two friends came to me with handknits I'd made, hoping I could help keep them in running order. After my recent post about selfish knitting, I found myself spending the weekend darning some well-loved mitts and putting alpaca through a series of gentle rinses. It's a nice reminder that the gifts I knit for people are really cherished.

Haha. Start the "selfish" knitting today !!!!:) It is indeed great feeling when your handknitted gifts are well used and loved.
For me I did inventory on my stash. I snipped a little swatches and organized by their weight. Now I have reference binder that I know how many yards of each yarn I have. I am knitting CPH in malabrigo and yum. This yarn just melts in your hand.
Hope you had good weekend:)
