Thank you, perfect! I used Arbico Organics -- I emailed them questions about what I'd need to get rid of moths with my apartment size (and my cats) and they were lovely and gave me great recommendations.

and it guarantees that they’ll be the same length with the exact same decreases

I haaaaaate sleeves and so far this is great! It doesn't feel like it's taking twice as long because sleeves already take forever.
Harriet - Pumpkin Spite (@akaharriet.bsky.social) reply parent
I had to get rid of a ton, and everything still here is either new or sat in the freezer for a week. We also got some microwasps (???) which are supposed to eat moth eggs. Ugh, moths! the worst. Always looking for more scrap projects tbh.

ok before you congratulate me on my restraint keep in mind we’ve had a moth infestation so I have been VERY wary of bringing yarn into the apartment. it HAS to fit in this sealed container.
Harriet - Pumpkin Spite (@akaharriet.bsky.social) reply parent
you can absolutely knit, I have seen your knitting and touched your very soft yarn ooooh tell me what you’re planning with your stash pls
Harriet - Pumpkin Spite (@akaharriet.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean I grew up in a house where the whole “computer room” was knee deep in quilting fabric and yarn, but yes PLEASE I’d love to see/hear about your projects.
Harriet - Pumpkin Spite (@akaharriet.bsky.social) reply parent
lololol this plus two WIPs I am mostly done with, but I guess I’ll give myself a gold star for it 🥰

I was starting to get a little overwhelmed so I’m VERY glad you think so
Harriet - Pumpkin Spite (@akaharriet.bsky.social) reply parent
every time I see beautiful yarn I remind myself i have SIX PROJECTS (2 WIPs, four planned) before I’m allowed to buy any more and it’s mostly working
Harriet - Pumpkin Spite (@akaharriet.bsky.social)
as yarn stashes go this is not TOO bad, right? it’s for four planned out projects, plus all the left overs in the bottom right corner. it’s going to be a very mauve and gray winter knitting season.

I have chosen an excellent time to become obsessed with an artist-owned media network. Would anyone like a free pass for a week of Nebula? I have three, apparently. (You don't even have to watch Jet Lag, they have tons of stuff, but... you COULD watch Jet Lag, iajs.)

fwiw the pharmacist said they have as many vaccines appointments as last year, and a lot of people walking in off the street trying to get the covid vax
