Happy Valentine's Day!
Recently I was looking through old knitting gear bags for a tape measure and found this adorable collection I must have assembled for a little trip I don't even remember now. And I thought, how sweet of past me to have put this together for future me!
The tape measure was curled up neatly inside a pill container, and a second pill container was loaded up with colourful stitch markers.
A plain square tin had plain stitch markers. I wonder what project I was working on? A lace shawl? Been a while since I've done that, but I know this isn't the only time I've included a small Swiss Army knife for its all-important scissors.
I drift in and out of an obsession with setting up the most compact tool set possible, but here I was clearly looking to maintain the usefulness of older items (the first few inches of the tape measure's markings are worn with use) or prolong the usefulness of discardable ones (the tiny tin which once contained mints.)
This was a fun find!
Now to pay it forward by making sure that present me gives future me a totally organized yarn and tool stash, so I can be orderly and serene when colour matching a sweater that needed invisible mending, with yarn across three different storage areas. Unlike last night, ahem.
Too ambitious? I think so too.
Hope you have a lovely weekend lined up, and thank you for spending this little bit of it with me!
