Knitting Earth and Sky is Enjoyable
I'm making really good headway with Earth and Sky, this afghan is moving along much faster than the last several I've done because it's just straight forward knitting, which I'm rather enjoying. I'm not piecing things together or dealing as much with how much yarn I have of this or that color...which is often a thing for me. It is here, but less so. Currently am at 36 inches with about 12 inches left according to my striping. That would make it 48 inches...but, am not sure I'm going to feel like that's large enough (48 x 60), so might need to add something else to each end, pick up stitches on the one side...jury's out on that, but am indeed enjoying these colors together.
This made me laugh. I don't have any respect for this man, so seeing him as a toilet bowl cleaner somehow seemed appropriate. I've never in all my 68 years felt that way. He is not normal.
I've made some headway with my de-clutter calendar. I'm not going in any order though and the 3 check marks are things I've done mostly related to emptying out our entertainment center in order to get rid of it. The 2 X's are things that don't pertain to our household, as we have no toys since there are no kids at home and no grandkids. Written in red are things I've added to replace to the 2 X's.
Spotted this awhile back on Facebook and saved it, partially for a reminder. I had, or maybe still have in the basement Mason Jars, and thought I'd give this a try. Except I don't like drinking through straws...so thought I'd share as a way to re-purpose and or recycle in case any of you do.
The afghan is very pretty. The finished size will be perfect for a nice sofa throw. So onteresting to know about the parmesan cheese lids.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts about the size, that's reassuring. I'm one who needs to see things. Should have measured 60 x 48 out on the rug, then I would have known. Just now thought about that....dahhhhhhhh. Let me know if you try the Mason Jar thing.
DeleteLoving your afghan.
ReplyDeleteSmirking at the toilet brush - which I have sent to my niece in California. Thank you.
Glad to see it being passed on! Hope your niece get's a chuckle out of it too. Thanks for the visit.
DeleteGood to add new to the declutter when some don't apply. haha yep, about all he is good for indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit Pat. Need to update my de-clutter calendar again.
DeleteI hate that face on that toilet bowl cleaner. I have a little trump troll doll and don't know what to do with it to maximize its therapeutic value for me. Cleaning my toilet isn't quite enough.
ReplyDeleteBe well, Sandy.
I hear ya on cleaning the toilet bowl with him isn't low enough. It's been a long two years for most of us.
DeleteWhat a great idea a declutter note , I must make one after Christmas .
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your Knitting.
Thanks for the visit, appreciated. I too will be continuing to work on the de-cluttering after holidays. Just too much to do to get it done in 30 days.
DeleteI enjoy a straightforward knitting project, I find simple knitting really relaxing. Ha ha, the Trump toilet brush made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteExactly...when you don't have to pay much attention or count, it is very relaxing to just knit. Glad you enjoyed the chuckle.
DeleteThe toilet brush is priceless.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too.
DeleteOh, could we put the real one down the toilet bowl. He is an ass. Love your knitting and don't over tire your self decluttering. big hugs
ReplyDeleteGreat idea...I'd be happy to help you put the real one head first down in toilet. Thanks for the visit.
DeleteThat blanket is really moving along fast!! Great calendar for decluttering.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elaine, I'm chipping away slowly at the de-cluttering.
DeleteThat stripe pattern is great. I'm not sure how big it is without seeing it next to something. I'm sure you know how big it needs to be.
ReplyDeleteA toilet bowl cleaner is perfect, but I can't stand the face anymore. I just can't look at it. Or his voice. Or his words. I'll stop now.
Soooooooo with ya on his face, his words, and his voice etc. Thanks for swinging over. I'm making good headway with the ghan and am beginning to feel more confident it will be ok size wise, but like you....I have to see it to know.
DeleteI seriously need that toilet brush, you know I can't stand him either! I love the blanket, good luck on the finish.
ReplyDeleteThanks loads for the encouragement with blanket and for the visit. Everyday I hope we hear he's being impeached or something.
