I'd planned to post some of my yarn purchases from Wonderwool, then I changed my mind and planned to post pictures of my hyperbolic crochet that I took along to the South Bank tonight. Whilst I was there I took yet more photos of other peoples contributions to the UK Reef - it will be stunning...
so where are the photos? In limbo between the ibook and Flickr, for some reason they are not talking to each other today.
The weekend was spent tidying the garage and continuing to empty my MIL's house ready for sale. The yarn is now all along one side of the garage and needs sorting - I'm saving that for a day when I feel brave as there are 13 sacks of odd-balls plus a few crates. I'm hoping I'll find some buried treasure as I go through them. There is more yarn indoors that also needs sorting not to mention the books, patterns and needles so why did I feel the need to start something new this weekend.
I started by hand winding a skein of 1800 yds of laceweight ( I couldn't find the swift!) that took most of my free time on Saturday and then on Monday I made a start on threading the beads - all 2500+ of them. I'm exhausted after all that preparation so It's now gone back into it's bag until I can face the thought of minute charts!

OK, so what's the beaded laceweight going to be?? Don't keep us in suspense!
Happy hunting.

Good luck with sorting out all that yarn. What is the next project with all that yarn and beads?
Posted by: yvette at May 7, 2008 06:09 AMWow, I don't envy all the work of emptying the house and readying it for sale. It's going to be quite the job just to sort through the yarn!
How long did it take to thread all those beads?!?! You are a more patient woman than I!
