House Prep and socks for sanity

There was a huge sort out of condiments. I could then see the base of cupboard was damaged. So it was repaired, painted and remaining bits crated up.

All chemicals gone through, so one crate on the go and the spares in the other crate. Lockdown is over! No need to stockpile. Use up before buying.

 

I have been painting everywhere, sorting, honing down posessions, trying to create a feeling of space in this house. It is long overdue. I have been asking myself what I want my life to look like in the future. What items will help me? What items are inventory that I spend my life looking after, but don't gain anything from?


 To help me relax, I have finished a pair of socks for son. I am currently working on the last ball of sock yarn for husband's socks.

Just stocking stitch for the bodice and sleeves with doubled over garter stitch for the neck band and cuffs. Single garter stitch for the button bands.
