Found It!!

 Well, I found one of the two items I reported as misplaced yesterday:

So very grateful to find this kit. Today during our Handwork Chat Group at the Relief Society Room I wound the white and dark brown yarn into balls to join the other two balls I had wound while on our vacation in January.

Tonight I began the Swaddle Bunny:

Here is the beginning of that bunny.  The pattern starts at the bottom of the body. In this case I have knit as far as the first "Knit 7 rounds" instruction. 

So far, so good.  I need to finish in the next week BUT I have a mammoth project on the horizon.  Heck, in the absolute immediate future!  

Our housing complex is having a yard sale tomorrow.  I wanted to remove the plastic shelving unit from the workroom and replace it with a heavy-duty and larger metal shelving unit.  I found the replacement unit at Sam's Club last week but it was too big to put in the shopping cart and I did not have life enough to go back in with the flatbed cart.  Since then I have learned that I can order it, pay for it, pick it up, and the nice people at Sam's Club will actually load it for me.  Win win win! 

So around 5:00 PM today I unloaded the plastic shelves, moving the "stuff" to a variety of places including the guest room that I had almost completely prepared to be a guest room again, but now is not at all ready!  I pulled the shelves out of the room and started down the stairs but had to shout to Dear One to help from the bottom of the stairs.  Which he kindly did.  I stuck the uprights back together and carried the unit out to the front line of our driveway.  I had written a FREE sign to put on it but it did not print so I went back upstairs to my computer to reset the printer, re-printed the document, went downstairs to pick it up and went to the front door.  I opened the door and started to step outside and discovered I did not need the FREE sign after all!  Fifteen minutes and it was gone. Hallelujah!

Now the idea is to see how much other stuff...probably mostly paper...I can dispose of in the next week so there can be further decreases in the number of boxes, barrels and bins needed to be put on the new shelves...which I will need help putting together. For this reason there will be very little knitting most likely.

Also...I am really really hoping the all this clean out will help the passport to turn up!

PS. As I was proofreading the above somehow it reminded me of Proust's writing (À la recherche du temps perdu -a book we had to study while I was in France for school in 1993)...in that he created VERY LONG sentences...paragraphs and pages long.  Don't ask me word one about that book. All I remember is how long the sentences were which were very taxing for a pitiful French student.
