Unfortunately, I don't have much to report in the knitting department. My 93 year old grandmother was moved into assisted living on August 1st and we've been cleaning out her house ever since. You know those news stories you read about people having a house so full of stuff that a person can't even sit down? That's my grandmother's house. We have filled 5 20-yd dumpsters and will probably need at least one more before we are through. It's been fun in a lot of ways, kind of a treasure hunt, but we are all ready for it to be completed. On Thursday Aug. 24 we are having our second estate sale, since we couldn't put everything out during the first one.

She has an old floor loom in her basement which she said I could have. I don't know anything about weaving, but she also has a table loom that I'm going to use to learn. She was a knitter, but did more crochet than knitting. And she embroidered a lot of linens and added crochet edgings. She had a large stash of yarn, but all of it had to be thrown out because it wasn't stored properly. I have a small stash and will definitely be thinking twice before I make another yarn purchase.
