25 y/o yarn feels, works up and washes the same as todays yarn. I think it may have different materials in the yarn. Anytime we go to an estate auction I always bid on the old yarn. One time I got a 55gal drum filled with yarn, also some hooks and knitting needles for $10.
I'm using this yarn...
Checked on the Donkeys & Chickens, all seem to be happy even though we're having on and off showers. The Barn Cats/Kittens snuggled up in the hay barn. (4 cats, 5 kittens & 2 storm transients)
Put up another shelf in the laundry room.
Repotted/split some of my African Violets.
I'm the same way, I get bored and move on the something else. This afgahn I needed to do 2 more squares and put it together. It's been in a basket behind my recliner for almost 10 years. The squares are 12"x12".
This unfinished mess is a baby afghan. When we moved our farm, 25 years ago, I was...
Worked on the garage clapboard.
Let the chickens free-range while I was outside working. Hubby and I install wind barriers around the coop.
Helped Hubby put out more hay for the Donkeys. There's 2 run-in barns the Donkeys can use during the storm. Closed all outside livestock water hydrants...
Went with Hubby to his Cardiologist for the Echocardiogram results. Not that good. He may need an Aortic Valve replacement.
Went to RK for a new heated water bucket for the chickens.
Will watch TV with Hubby & crochet.
Helped Hubby split firewood. He places the logs, I operate the hydraulics.
I cleaned the chicken's heated water bucket, now the @#%# thing leaks!
Will crochet after dinner.
Hubby had an Echocardiogram this morning. Brought my afghan to work on while I waited. Forgot to bring the hook! Oh well.
Helped Hubby put out extra hay for the Donkeys. Ice storm predicted starting Friday evening lasting through to Sunday.
Will crochet later.
As of this morning I was still searching for the two mistake stitches. I finally found the goof-ups, one stich on two separate rows. 13 rows ripped out! :he
Still cold with a biting 15mph WNW wind. Checked on the Donkeys, Chickens and Barn Cats/Kittens.
Watching movies and crocheting. Finally found the pattern mistake! One stich on two different rows. 13 rows ripped out!
Decided to make Palmiers for Hubby. Palmiers are a French pastry type cookie...
It's cold & windy today.
I stayed in and watched old VCR movies with Hubby.
Still can't find the pattern mistake in my afghan. I'll rip out some more rows. :th
When I cook something new I always ask, good enough to make again. He liked it, that's all that matters.
I didn't boil the jumbo shells I stuffed them dry, the same way I make Lasagna. I thought the shells would be easier to handle. I covered the bottom of the baking dish with sauce so the dry...
