30 Days of Knitting Day 12

Where do you keep your stash? Post pictures!

I have a set of plastic drawers I stash the majority of my skeins in. The stuff in the top drawer is the stuff I really like most of which I've set aside for projects for myself or special projects for other people. The middle drawer is mainly odds and ends of yarn with skeins of good but not super shiny yarn. The bottom drawer is the stuff I either can't figure what I'll ever use it for or stuff I hope I never use. I also have a couple of copy paper boxes full of yarn, instructions, and started patterns. This is where I put the yarn I've set aside for specific projects so I don't use it for anything else.

I have no pictures because I'm pretty sure no one wants to look at a stack of boxes and because I'm nowhere near by plastic "tub".

"My mother would never let the hearth die in her home," Margret said. She felt Agnes turn to look at her, but didn't meet her gaze.

This leads to the phenomena such as the denunciation of classic novels such as Huckleberry Finn , on grounds that they deal with issues such as slavery, women's civil rights, ect., in a way not consistent with the notion of present-day political correctness. - "Presentism" The Outlandish Companion by Diana Gabaldon Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading .

Vancouver 2014: Camping!

Camping is one of those things that's hard to share via picture, moving or still. It's so much about the experience, the stars overhead, the springy soft ground underfoot, the wind on your face, that first pure hint of morning light, meals cooked by fire and ember. Sure there are the stories you tell, the ones around the campfire and down at the lake, and the ones you tell after, but it's not the same. Stories can conjure memories and emotions but they can't make the sun shine or moths fall from overhead lights. Okay, maybe the last one, moths are sneaky, but the rest, these personal moments and experiences, they're a lot harder to convey. I'll leave it at I had an absolutely amazing time, despite the lack of nonrock based floors and comfortable chairs, I would have turned right around and done it again. The lack of technology was restful and the presence of that much nature was restorative. We mostly relaxed but I did get to see some amazing sights and
