I have *lost* some yarn

And I cannot locate it anywhere in the house. I know I had it a month or six weeks ago, as I went through the stash with help from a friend. I remember pulling the bag out of a bin, double-checking the contents, and putting it back in the bin. All bins are accounted for but I can't find that damned brown grocery sack. And of course that's the bag in which my hairy mohair resides and I'm actually in a mood to knit with it.

Argh!

Hi Wooly,

You didn't send it to me, sorry I don't have it. Oh here you wouldn't be able to do a thing with mohair, just too darn hot yet.

Hugs,

Nora

Still too damned hot here, too, but in Texas everywhere has the a/c running until the end of October, then they switch over to heat and bake everybody. Its actually more of a challenge to work on big wooly items during hte winter, because of this odd "suthren" habit than it is to work on them in mid-summer.

We keep the house at 74 usually, but we had a week in July when the a/c units didn't want to shut off, it was so hot. We ran hte thermostat up to 80f to give the machinery a break. I spent a lot of time at the pool under my spf50 that week...

Hi Wooly,

We are having the hottest summer since the late 1770's according to all the records that were taken. We have had a record breaking 15 days over

90 so far and nighttime lows are in the 70's. We aren't used to it. We live by fans, can't get a/c in crank out windows. Oh well only a couple more weeks of this I hope then I can get back to one piece afghans instead of granny squares.

Hugs,

Nora

Oh my yes! I remember going to summer machine knitting guild meetings in a Virginia retirement home's craft room and all of us wrapping ourselves in our show-and-tell items, trying to avoid chattering teeth! Then in the winter it was oven time. UGH! No energy conservation there!

I really saw myself in your lost yarn comment. And of course it always happens right after I know I've seen the stuff while tidying. Makes a body want to avoid that tidying, I can tell you! It also makes me rather wary of leaving yarn in bags, for fear of it getting tidied right out the door by mistake. Not that it's ever happened but the fear is there.

Oh Nora, My mom was looking into a portable AC unit that you can move from room to room. I believe she said it was at Best Buy or Circuit City. It may be worth a look, not sure of the price, but I can imagine how sticky it must be getting.

I hope you are okay in the heat. We have had a lilttle break, with some cooler breezes that floated by last night. But HHH (hazy,hot, humid) back again today.
