Ages ago, I mean, many years, I bought some scrubby yarn because I liked the idea of making my own scrubbies for washing myself and dishes. I knitting some, stashed the yarn and...
I looked at it today and decided that I prefer my microfibre and plain cotton cloths for cleaning dishes and the houes and that I don't trust the sparkle in the yarn to wash me so I'm getting rid. There's lots of 'I ought...' and 'I should...' and 'I've wasted...' But I've enjoyed the sparkle, I've had a play, I'll take that at getting my money's worth and it's all out of the house.
I've gone from hardly posting anything to posting a load, but I feel that this is a big step for me - not holding on to 'it cost x and I should do y' but making space in my life for other things. Those things may or may not include the yarn for the cardigan I want to knit that I weakened and ordered but heyho! And I plan to donate the yarn so that someone else can also enjoy the sparkle. Anyway, I'm posting this and taking the win.
Hugs and good health to all.
I'm sure some happy shopper will be delighted to buy your donated yarn.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few places that could either sell or use them in crafts in their communities, and I hope that wherever it ends up, it brings joy
DeleteWell done! I need to start thinking more that way about my craft items!
ReplyDeleteIt's a work in progress here, but very helpful to me.
DeleteI'm sure your donated yarn will bring great joy to someone else. Well done recognizing when craft supplies had served their purpose as far as you are concerned and being able to let go. I'm still working on that!
ReplyDeleteIt's a work in progress here, but worth the effort.
DeleteOh but but but it's so pretty. I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteThank you - it's the sparkle!
