Great textile day with boxes

In the middle of the online Asian textile presentation which I think will be on YouTube too, highly recommend, the mail carrier arrived.

He waited patiently while I finally got the front door curtain open, it sticks, and handed over a Treasure Box from a blogista who had gone to some trouble to manage doing it, her day to day not being easy. Much appreciated, P. 

Long story, but it's about unused sock yarn and some unfinished projects from a skilled knitter. 


Complete with the needles. And pattern. I spent a while sorting and playing. There's yarn for a couple of pairs of socks, and a few balls which will be enough for lanyards to go with anti ICE whistles. 

What a day! This yarn is very nice quality, and I have some ideas.  I already have a good destination for the blue piece on straight needles. 

Earlier I'd started on a bergamot box. To show my brain feverishly trying to remember bergamot, it presented me first with bento, then with vertigo. No, I don't know why either.

What I do know is that this orange was light-years easier to manage than the lemons. 



It agreed to go on the jars, no argument. So we'll see if I get a box and lid. The smell of the orange in the boiling water was heavenly.

So that's Saturday. 

Happy day everyone, No Kings!
