yarn stash

Sad but true: I have not done any work on my scarf since my last Craft Night in early April. I like to imagine myself as the kind of person who can knit while watching primetime television, but that hasn’t proven to be the case. Mostly I just forget to knit. Other times I’d rather use my two hands for snacking rather than crafting. You know what that’s like.

Perhaps the problem is that when my knitting is out of sight, it’s out of my mind. I stash my scarf and my extra yarn in a big, brown tote bag I once got a book trade show back when I worked in publishing. However, if I had this fabulous bucket by Inklore, I could keep my yarn in the living room without it being an eyesore, allowing easy access to my projects. I really love the block print of the ball of the yarn ball with needles, don’t you?

porcelain cafe cups

I’m loving these porcelain cafe cups made to look like the styrofoam ones you might get at a deli with take-out service. They remind me of the ceramic replicas of the iconic “We Are Happy To Serve You” cups (below) found all over New York City. You can buy those online at the MoMA store or locally at Trocadero.
