Looking For Blue Thread

I realized the other day, that I needed some blue thread. I was sure that I had some somewhere in the house. It occurred to me that we had- after three long years in storage- actually pulled out the old three drawer sewing bin and placed it in the guest bedroom. I figured there should be some thread in there. Well, when I opened the top drawer, this is what greeted me...

I think a good cleaning and reorganizing of my sewing bin is WAY overdue.

FYI- I did find the blue thread. Can you spot it in the picture?

Straw Stitch Holder

Who says you need expensive or fancy knitting equipment? You have some of the best knitting tools already laying around your house.

In the picture you will see that I used a cheap old bendable straw as a stitch holder. The project is a sock that I'm knitting for a friend.
