FIVE BOXES FULL TO DONATE TO ARC ARE DONE! Whew! The ARC donation is full, over, and all we do is put the boxes on the covered porch on Wed. evening.
I gave a nice throw, a kitties statue, difficult crochet pattern books, which are beyond my degree of expertise and patience to try to accomplish, 2 desk calendars, which rove year to year, with the day/month, but not the year. They're re-usable. They're getting kitchen cups, mugs, a nice purse too heavy for me to carry, and clothes, which are too large....
HOWEVER, DH came home from Costco, last summer, with a very, VERY SHEER striped t-shirt, and I've tried it on, as I've lost weight, but it's embarrassingly sheer to the point of someone much younger to wear.
I know I could've returned it, but he does Costco days alone, usually, and walks very fast. He wears me out! He's 71! I'm 61! And I'M worn out????
It'll be a lovely top for somebody younger and more daring than me.
I'm very tired now that we've gotten 5 boxes done. I cannot find my crochenit hook to donate, so may have donated it already. I have a miss-mash of knitting needles in all sizes, but never knit. However, I kept 1 pair, which was fatter, to try to learn how to do knit-purl on, to make a shawl or afghan. I kept the knitting books and how-to knitting books, for learners.
So glad we're done! What exercise it was, too!
