Knitting, My New Friend, & Yarnology



This past week has once again has gone by much too fast. I have a new friend, it's name is White Vinegar. I read about it on mskims blog. I don't have much time to spend cleaning my house, let alone shop for a variety of expensive cleaners that irritate my skin, lungs and anything else it comes in contact with. Ms Kim recommended white vinegar and baking soda. I went to the market not knowing I was purchasing my new friend. I went to town cleaning my kitchen. WOW!! It was fast and squeaky clean. I moved to my bathroom and I fell in love with yes, white vinegar and baking soda. Who knew? I love it! I hear you can add essential oils too. That will be my next experiment. On to knitting..I finished Talia last night. It's fabulous if I do say so myself. I 'll block it this weekend. Sew on some buttons and since we are having a heat wave, put it away until weather permits.
I started Baby Surprise Jacket the other night. My sister just found out she's having a girl. I'm using Zitron Lifestyle in a funky purple, orange colorway. Thankfully, my sister isn't into traditional baby colors.

Cory brought in some beautiful roses from her garden, they in are in the pic. Yes, I'm still at the shop. Too much yarn left to close . Help me get out of here!! I sold the first mannequin yesterday. It was like one of my kids was moving away. It made me sad. The fixtures are now up for sale. So if you need any bookcases come on in.

SO glad you're doing the vinegar thing! I do add a little tea tree oil to my vinegar/water mixture sometimes...tea tree oil kills germs and mold naturally, and I really like the way it smells. I did once try adding a bit of lavendar oil when I was mopping the floor...it smelled SO nice...exept it makes me so calm I feel like taking a nap, but it doesn't havce that effect on my kids. :)
