When Life gives you lemons..



 🍋🍋🍋...the only thing to do is make lemonade.

In a single day, some of my ideas for sale were rejected - but they will make Christmas Gifts.  And I was sent a huge bag of yarn, some of which cannot be used on the CSM - so I am handknitting some socks.  The added bonus of this one is trying out a pattern for tabbed socks which a fellow cranker has adapted from the original CSM pattern to handknit, both toe up and cuff down.  It should be quicker than normal a) because they are shorter, b) because the yarn is thicker.  Will also incorporate the "no wrap, no turn heel" - once I re-work the maths!

Plus a clearout of desk drawers revealed ancient 3 and 5 inch floppy discs and re-writeable dvds.  The latter gave me a storage lid and a device for centering circular labels, both of which are perfect sizes for coveing the top of CSMs.  Not so much to keep dust out as to protect my sleeves from the needles when I reach over them to get into cupboards.
