mending
I did some mending on Sunday afternoon. I am quite pleased with the results.
First, I repaired two pairs of pants - one mine, one Dennis' - that each had a split seam at the crotch.
Then, I took my khaki capris - actually, they used to be khaki pants, and I cut them into capris because they became to short for me - and I hemmed the bottom, so it wasn't all frayed, and looks presentable enough that I could wear them to work if I wanted to.
I really wanted to work on my knitting; start and perhaps finish that other under mitten (and I still have to do the *over* mittens as well!) but with all the cleaning, I ended up not having time.
I went to Joann's on Saturday, and I was all excited cause I was going to buy myself a yarn winder, and I had a 50% off coupon to use on it. But apparently they don't actually carry it in the store; they only have it online. I was severely bummed. And I really want one, so I figured I'd just go online and buy it. And hey! Lookit that! 50% off one item through Wednesday! How convinient! But for some reason, *EVERY* item on their web site is listed as being out of stock. This is beginning to get annoying.
