Mrs. Clean

 It's been another all day clean-a-thon around here. Look what I found.



Actually, I found 5 in different places all over the house. They do tend to sneak away.



 Speaking of sneaking, I found these shoved under the large wardrobe in the bedroom.



I sucked them out with my new shop vac. I love my new little toy.



 I had been looking all over for those Crazy Zauberball socks. Here is their Ravelry mugshot, poor things.



Here I am wearing them in 2010 while I am waiting to go back for my gall bladder surgery. Funny thing is that I blamed Daughter for stealing them when I spied a pair at her house recently. She swears I made a pair for her but I took them anyway knowing I was right.


But lookie here.....I am all hooked up for surgery and KNITTING on another pair which I describe in detail on my blog post for the day. Daughter was right. I have to give her hers back now and figure out how to clean the dust bunnies out of mine. They're a mess.

  4. Your daughter and you sound just like my mom and I!

    (Also.... If I ever properly cleaned up, I'm sure I'd find dozens of stitch markers in random places!)

  6. Hey! We both lost our gall bladders in 2010! I don't really miss it, but I do have to watch what I eat. Glad you made all those great finds; that makes cleaning worth while, eh?

  8. You and I had our gall bladder surgery just about the same time. I wasn't knitting before mine. They gave me sleepy drugs .... it would have been some wonky socks for sure! LOL

    You are one tough lady!!! ;-)

    Zauberball socks will take a good washing and come through dust bunny free! Glad you found them.
