My stash & some funny memories









I woke up this morning with the inspiration to dig out all the yarn I have stashed throughout the house and sort through, with the aim to getting
rid of most if not all of the acrylic yarns I have from my early days of knitting. The result is a huge bag full of acrylic yarn to ditch, and a lounge floor covered in beautiful yarns!

This exercise made me realise just how much yarn I have and also how much I had forgotten about totally!

I also came across some of the first things I knit, without patterns I might add, but based on general construction of the glove. Here we have the evolution of the glove, with attempt number 1:




As you can see the thumb went a bit wrong being about half the length it
should be! But this was my first attempt at the age of 9.

Attempt number 2 was the result of half using a pattern and half having no clue how to construct a glove:

Needless to say I didn't bother making a second glove and abandoned this project.

Enter 3rd attempt:
Despite being knit in yarn of the wrong weight, I think they give a reasonable impression of fingerless gloves:)
