The Grande Hat Caper of 2024

 I am pleased to announce that my stash of bulky yarn is practically nil and the end result is these hats destined for donation (two are made using worsted weight)...


I refuse to admit that the space that once was taken by bulky yarn has been replaced with loopy yarn that will ultimately be turned into kitchen scrubbies.  No, I won't admit to anything of the kind.  

- Many of us undertake to downsize our 'stuff' after Christmas and I must admit I have read more than my fair share of organization how-to books, none of which have really proven to be overly useful.  However, I have discovered one approach that really does work (I've read her books as well) and thought I'd point you to THIS blog post from her that I find to be exactly what I need to hear.

- Although Christmas is over there are lots of gift ideas HERE that would be useful any time of the year.

- There's tons of amazing eye candy if you go HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

- THIS is something you might like to take part in over the next few months.

- If you're contemplating doing a 'temperature' project over the next year, perhaps one of the designs found HERE would be what you need.
