Some days

Some days work just really interferes with what I want to accomplish ;~)  But I did manage during lunch to clean out my always present project tote. It’s amazing what can be found when something is stripped bare. I found that my really cheap ($3) reading glasses, kept in an outside pocket, were broken. It’s not so much the expense, but they were a perfect fit and leopard print. So now I have to go to Michaels and hope that they have another pair in the correct strength and the right print. (heavy sigh

It just affords the possibility that I will buy more yarn for more future projects. But I digress.

I found a couple of skeins of yarn, apparently thrown in to show co-workers, purchased at Big Lots for $1 each. I bought all the skeins of the colors I liked. One, an orange-pink mix, has a terry cloth feel that I think would be great as a beach cover up. The other is a mix of shades of red in a mixed fiber ribbon yarn with a light sheen to it. That one works up so nicely, feels smooth as it is worked.

I also discovered several small balls left over from projects and I have no idea why they ended up in the bag. I think I’m going to experiment with hyperbolic crochet, or maybe free  form and see what it becomes.
