The tale of the bargain...

Okay, So as i might have mentioned before ( i dont remember much right now and i'm too lazy to check), i bought a LOT of yarn on ebay for a relatively low price. Most of it was awesomely packed and didn't have any odor. But the other day i got 2 boxes of yarn and HOLY COW. It smelled like an attic and was covered in dust, so i thought it would be a good idea to unwind it all, wind it back up on my winding machine so they would be neat and not so stretched ( a lot of them were so stretched you could actually see the strands that  made up a 1 strand of the yarn), and then i would be able to wash it and get the smell and the dust off. While i still think it was the best thing to do instead of putting it away with my other clean yarn, it was the worst thing i could have done at the same time. Now, i dont know if it was the dust and i just have a bad case of allergies and my body is trying to fight inflammation or what, but i got really sick, i have a fever, my nose is stuffy, headache, sinuses hurt a little. ugh. Needless to say, i've had to put my projects on hold for now, until i get better. My house looks like a pig sty.  I did  manage to wind about 100 balls of dusty old yarn, but every time i was it and put it on low in the dryer, in a garment bag, it ends up a tangled mess. They say to put them in pantyhose and wash them in it, or in a garment bag, but i don't own any pantyhose, just fishnets and i doubt they would work. So if anyone out there reading this has a better way of washing and drying these yarns, please comment!

Aside from the yarn, the couch where i work is covered in tissues, Tangled messes of washed yarn, and christmas ornaments. lol. I'm a wreck right now. Oh and to top it all off, The Muno i was working on for Ayden got lost somewhere in the mess and when i found it, the stitch marker had fallen off and i have no idea where i was, now i'm gonna have to start all over. I was almost done too. It was looking really really good. Oh well. The holidays are never easy. So on that note, time for me to go, i will be back eventually hopefully with some pictures of the stuff i've made. Night!
