Could this be the last of the apartment drama? (maybe?)
Hopefully this week will be the last week of no knitting for a good long while.
The apartment dramas seem to be coming to a close.
Fingers crossed at least.
The painting & re-plastering is finished, and looks amazing.
The second round of bedbug chemical treatment, that got sprung on us last week, was done yesterday. So I’m holding my breath and hoping that’s over.
Since all of my yarn has been packed away, I’ve been spending a lot of time reading, which has been a nice change of pace. I’m currently working my way through Hermione Lee’s biography of Edith Wharton, it’s fascinating but dense.*
*that’s one hell of an understatement.
And with the apartment a complete and total mess, I’ve taken to using any clear space as a desk. Even the floor.
I posted yesterday that I’m restarting the Self-Made Wardrobe Project August 1st. (yay!!!) I can’t wait to get back to this project, and restart it in a way that’s more sustainable, and hopefully more useful & interesting.
You can read more about the self-made wardrobe project here.
See you Friday for the beginning of the Self-Made Wardrobe, Take 2.
And until then, I’ll be celebrating my birthday Thursday.
Happy Birthday to me!!!
yarn tangles, writing, and the apartment
No knitting. Sad face.
Just ripping apart the apartment.
Trying to untangle some yarn.
And writing.
I miss my knitting…
shoes, nail polish, a spartan desk, and some spinning
This week has mostly been spent unpacking and starting to puzzle piece the apartment back together.
Some highlights: Shoes have taken over my closet, at least they left space for my polka doted hatbox. My, now, oh-so-spartan desk. And a crazy amount of nail polish that I don’t remember amassing.
I’ve done no knitting. But I did pull out some fiber and do a little spinning last night. That way there would be something fiber related in this post.
This is a beautiful camel colored 100% alpaca top, that I’m spinning into a 2ply lace weight. It was a gift and unfortunately I don’t know the company. But I’m loving working with it.
Here’s to more knitting next week.
Happy Wednesday!
