susandennisSo the undercurtains did need a bit of ironing. One closet has two panels - so 2 sheers and 2 undercurtains. I washed and ironed the first set and put them up and knew instantly I was in trouble...
They looked AMAZING! Now I would have to also do the 3 sets for the closets on the other side of the room. So... today is Closet Day!
The first two panels are cleaned and ironed an back up and wow. I'm ashamed I went so long with their being o filthy! Now they are so bright that getting to sleep might be an issue.
The other three panels are in the wash now.
Swimming was great. Some days, the minute I hit the water I feel like a mermaid. How in the world can I stand being in the air so long?! Usually I do aerobics - strength and cardio - vertically. Today I actually swam some laps. I need to do more of that. When I get back to the pool after my cataract surgery, I think I'm going to make me a little lap program for non-class days.
I tried some new knitting needles. They are square and supposed to ease hand cramps. They arrived on Saturday and I used them for two days and I almost nearly liked them. They were easy to use and felt good. They are more expensive than my previous favorites, and not perfect... So the jury was still out until last night when the new ones just snapped in two. Doh! The previous favorites got promoted back to favorites and the broken set got sent back to the mother ship. I want my $21.49 back.
Nice to get stuff done. I need to find jobs to apply for but I think I can put that off until tomorrow morning.

what does it take to break a knitting needle in two?

Date: 2012-09-18 01:10 am (UTC)It's actually two needles connected with a cable. The needles snap off from the cables after about 3 months - or less. (Way less in the case of these square ones.)
After I broke it last night, I switched to the one I've been using since July. Alas, it just broke tonight.
I'v decided to quit worrying about it and just know that every 3 months I'm going to have to pop for a new $8 needle. (At least they aren't $18 like the one that didn't even last the weekend.)
