I haven’t been getting too much knitting done lately, and what I have been knitting is Top Secret, which has left me with not much to post about.
Also, it snowed last night. The tulips are coming up, which is some compensation, but still — snow in April? Can we get a break here?
In good news, the cedar chest I ordered from Harmony Cedar arrived last night, and this morning David and I moved it into the bedroom and packed it full of sweaters. Isn’t it pretty?
I’ve been saving money to buy this chest since November, and I finally had enough pennies hoarded to order it about three weeks ago. The exterior is made from cherry, and the interior is cedar-lined.
Prior to the arrival of the chest, I kept my sweaters on the shelves of our closet in cloth bins. Every time I wanted a sweater, which was every day between November and March, I had to pull down the bins from the shelves, and inevitably at least one sweater would fall out and land on my head. This is most certainly a change for the better.
Very nice! Does the cedar lining protect the sweaters in some special way? I like these deep chests that you can fill with stuff, but also dump stuff on.
Gorgeous cedar chest! Once upon a time I lived in an apartment that had an entire cedar closet (a small one), and a friend told me that I should lightly sand the inside of the closet once or twice a year to keep the cedar fresh.
I had been wondering how you stored all of your fine creations!
What a lovely chest – and a great sweater storage location!
What a beautiful chest – perfect for all your handknits!
