Oh my heck - I just inhaled a large gulp of coffee reading about the container and box and tape issue. That is EXACTLY what I did yesterday!! I mentioned that DH decided he is going to finish putting flooring and ceiling in our basement (that is used mostly for storage) and, to spite me and the toilet woes we are having upstairs in our main bath, to finish off a little half bath down there. This means I have to move all the crap out of this backless pantry cupboard down there. I had in my mind that to do this, I need those heavy duty mail-like totes with the handles to handle the jars of canned goods, etc. Not having any, I started searching for boxes....Well, I have to peel off address labels and such and if it takes part of the box with it, it's simply unusable....And mind you - this is just for TEMPORARY storage....HELP!!!! Needless to say - yesterday was a waste! <br /><br />And so, I have my answer on the knitting....Sounds like a smashing idea. I have that problem with "portabiltiy" too - Can't see without my Ott lite for stitching or punching; and hooking is too cumbersome with the frame, the cutter, the strips, etc. But NO I am NOT taking up knitting!!! (Just what I would need - another craft to be obsessive about and not get done....) But you, my friend, knit on....What fun yarns - but, I do think that you made a good decision on the Aran exchange.... ;o) Smiles & Hugs ~ RobinTheCrankyCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314851714923955216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-32293220856734656682012-06-03T13:26:12.699-04:002012-06-03T13:26:12.699-04:00Love your Yarn Shirlee - stunning colours.

I just love the feel of a good hank in hand and have to touch them all. You've got real beauties there. Must be a nice shop. We lost our good yarn shop a few years ago so I have no hanks to handle.

I think I need to take another row back, at least, to make it's right.

The answer is "Yes, we would be back there like a shot, so much still to see." But... kids, DFIL to look after, work, no holiday leave, money.... but one day we will be back!Kaisievichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466159839339896483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-55590655595683967012012-06-02T08:41:04.714-04:002012-06-02T08:41:04.714-04:00Shirlee!

Good luck with that! ;) I can't wait to see what you knit. I cannot knit. Brian's grandma tried to teach me years ago. I am glad she has major memory loss. She just kept smiling and reteaching me! ♥ http://astitchersstory.blogspot.com/Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601483236926246196noreply@blogger.com
