Mothballs, counter-offensive

Petunia and I went to shopping today in between my work tasks. We wandered over to Lowes where I was able to pick up some bona fide old fashioned mothballs. Holy cow, do these things reek. It’s ok if they stink as long as they completely rid any chance of moths in the skeins of yarn in question. When I got home I put one ball in each Ziploc bag that had yarn in it and one in my knitting bag. Then I put all those items into a chest that I have and shut the door on that room. I will check in on the projects next week and air them out so hopefully I can spend the last three hours I need to finish that camisole! 🙂

Oh and we also went to my favorite bookstore ever (for current releases) Book Loft. And yeah, my accursed bookstore spending habits struck again but I was finally able to get my hands on Custom Knits, the never not knitting calendar and a book my supervisor recommended reading. 🙂 Alas, the book we went there to get was on order (since it is a very popular book that sells out quickly) so we will have to wander back down there again to get it. For shame! 😉
