More sorting and carting today. We emptied bedroom 2 and took up the carpet - turns out carpet rips quite nicely if you get it started in the right direction. That, the underlay, and a pile of electrical and metal objects, many of them knives, got taken to the Dump.

Then, we went to a carpet shop and managed to order a new one which is likely to be fitted within the week! \o/ In time for BIL's next visit, so he'll be able to sleep in a bedroom with an ensuite if he wants to. And my Boy will have a wholesome carpet in the room when he has to move in.

So many trips up and down stairs. Legs weary. Time to knit.

Yay for new carpet! Wishing you happy knitting.

...many of them knives

That's a little concerning in retrospect!

I hope the knitting was fun!

It's just kitchen knives, mostly - I don't know why he had quite so many, but I suspect the old story of Oh, look, that's a bargain, it'll be useful. One looked like a fish-gutting knife...

You made me curious so I'd to look up what a fish-gutten knife looked like. For some reason I imagined it would be long and narrow but that's apparently a fish fillet knife. The things one learns when looking things up on the net is amazing :-)

PS Hooray for new carpet!

Knitting is good for the soul.

It is. I hope it will also be good for the dementia ward, for at the moment I am producing little lap-blankets which I hope they'll be able to take in again soon.
