My progress on the shawl I began knitting while stuck in traffic due to an accident:
I’m adapting the Kindness Shawl pattern to make for an easier travel knit. All garter stitch with the eyelets in the main body. Not sure if I’ll go to a lacy pattern at the edge.
Mr. Aitch and I are stuck on the interstate. Two hours so far. 😬
Time to do something constructive.
I was cleaning up my knitting bag and had to come up with another plan for all my double-pointed needles (aka dpns). I’m not a Magic Loop convert yet so most of my socks and other knitted-in-the-round items are made using dpns.
I know I bought some of these but I also inherited some. In the beginning, the needles were safe and organized in the original cardboard packaging. Then the packaging fell apart. 
The inherited needles were held together with rubber bands or tape (Gasp!). Rubber bands deteriorate rather quickly and leave gunk on the needles. And tape residue is sticky and rough. 
I made some holders from small paper envelopes and wrote the sizes on the front. That worked for awhile but it wasn’t a fantastic solution. 
Enter these double point needle tubes*! 
I love them. 
Now my needles have a more secure home. I cut out some circles (address labels), wrote the size and stuck them on the end so I can see at a glance what needle I have/need. 
The tubes are adjustable so they can accommodate shorter or longer needles. I even keep some crochet hooks in one as every knitter sometimes needs one of those. 
They now live in the knitting bag of tools and supplies.
Sets of size 10 1/2 and above are too large to fit inside these tubes so until the Super Duper Sized tubes arrive, I will keep them in my make-shift holder. 
I’m not sure how I ended up with so many size 8 dpns. But can one really have too many? 
*I received no compensation for this review. I just like this product and thought you might, too.
It’s been busy around here lately. Cleaning and getting rid of stuff. Every year our development has a community yard sale and last weekend was it. Last year was the first time I participated in several years. Too much work for very little return.
Last year Mr. Aitch and I hauled all our leftover stuff/junk to the basement where it sat all winter.
My neighbor asked me if I wanted her to add my things to hers and she would take care of the setting up and selling. I told her to keep any money from my sales.
She insisted that I keep my money. I made a grand total of…
…$12.
Not a great day for an outside yard sale. The weather consisted of clouds, sun, sprinkles, thunder, rain, and humidity. Lots of humidity.
Late in the afternoon another thunderstorm rolled through and left us not one but a double rainbow!
Not a bad photo using my iPad! The colors did get more brilliant but the top one disappeared. Did you know the colors are inverted in the top double rainbow?
