According to FB I posted this pic of On the High Seas seven years ago. Since the m*ths nibbled at it, I need to knit a new sample soon. Just need to find the right yarn (and some time). If you'd care to join me, you can get your copy of the pattern in my shop (profile link). #onthehighseas #knittersofinstagram #sevenyearsago #demothening

I may be down with a sore throat, but the "studio" is shaping up! We shall see what some quiet time and lozenges do this morning, as I planned to record ep0 of the new season of The Sweater today. #demothening #thesweater #sweaterweather #knittingpodcast

Fish don't lie. I'm tired after the last ten days. #demothening #fortunefish (at The Mermaid Inn)

Yes, Netflix. Yes, I am. Thank goodness for 30 Rock. Watching and winding. #demothening #thegreatyarnbake #cleanallthethings #tryingnottocry

Post-baking setup After cooking for one hour at 150F, it is best to rewind yarn, checking for any breaks and shaking loose any *thing*. <shudder> Not shown: Netflix working overtime. #demothening #thegreatyarnbake #cleanallthethings #tryingnottocry

Yarn. It's what's for dinner. In stuff you can't make up: a moth just bumbled past me. From where I do not know. It is dead now. #demothening #thegreatyarnbake #cleanallthethings #tryingnottocry

De-moth-ening week 2: actually dealing with the yarn and knits. Spent all weekend cleaning (empty out, inspect, vacuum, wipe down with vinegar - smells a bit like a pickle factory) the front hall closet and adjacent room where the stash and samples live. Now to look in those black plastic bags and truly assess the damage, kill off anything that may be in there, clean everything that's washable and bake the rest in a low oven before storing it safely in plastic. #demothening #cleanallthethings #thegreatyarnbake #tryingnottocry
