Of course I did

I have a small garbage can under the kitchen sink. It's not full but stinky so time to take to the dumpster. And, while I'm at it, why don't I gather up the rest of the trash/garbage. So I gathered up everything and took it all down to the dumpsters.

When I got back up here, I realized that the one 'everything' I forgot was the one under the kitchen sink. Yes, the stinking one. My brain is giggling... ha! we got ya again!!!

But, also, it's smiling because living room additions/corrections. I have an ottoman that is just the right size for sitting on to eat dinner. Also it holds yarn. The top is horribly stained. So a few years ago I made a cover for it.



Nice but dull and a piece, in the middle, is coming unsewn. So... today that cover got replaced.



Soooooooo much better.

And then I took the rest of that patchwork from Goodwill and gave the green pillow a new outfit.





Cause my living room needed color. Amirite???

Then I cleaned up the sewing room and put everything back where it belongs from the last few sewing projects and threaded up the machines to start the cat top project tomorrow.

----------------------

Ok. I had to go down to pick up a package and the mail so I delivered the stinky to the dumpster. Now... after I feed this cat who is driving me nuts... It's knittin' time.

I like your new covers much better than the old one.
:^)

me, too!

That new cover is much better. More vibrant and cheery I think.

That new seat cover is dazzling! I thought I liked the old one till I saw the new one. Grey chair looking much more exciting too!

One can never have too much color!

The colors of the new covers POP!

Love the vibrant colors!

What are you currently knitting?

[susandennis]

This... in the most delicious alpaca/wool yarn.

I was at about the half way point when I discovered a fatal error and ripped it all out to start again. Good thing I'm a process knitter more than one hell bent on the product!

Ooh thanks for the share! I'm a process knitter too, unless I'm making it for a gift and am on a timeline! Haha
I love those patterns though, and am adding them to my list of possibilities! I'm currently forcing myself to work through my yarn stash a bit before I jump into something new, but I'm certainly accepting applications for new projects!

[susandennis]

I just recently discovered the Drops patterns and I'm really impressed. I hear you about the stash. I have mine almost contained as of now... But, no more purchasing of yarn for me for a while.

I've now bookmarked the site and am checking out their pattern offerings! I'm doing well working through my stash. I've knit up all my cotton and am working on my other bits and pieces now. Trying to find a pattern that works for mitts using different types of yarn. I have everything from sock to super bulky. Did some experimenting last night, will play around more tonight.

Another cache of interesting and varied patterns is the Rowan site ... I'm not sure why I never knew this before, but I just discovered it.

Drops patterns are so nice - I can lose myself in their site for hours.

[susandennis]

Right?! I don't know why I've never stumbled across them before. I only got there this time because a British yarn shop I've ordered from before had a special deal on their Nepal yarn at Christmas.

I thought your old ottoman cover was bright - until I saw the new one! (I like them both.)

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Oh I love those bright colours!

[beauty-forashes.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love that! :)
