A day or so ago I found a whole load of plastic bags full off odds and ends of wool in the study. I asked my son if he was taking up knitting, but apparently not. Not crochet either. In fact they were left-overs from some he was given to take to a local knitting group. They took what they wanted and this jumble of oddments, including several half-knitted items, was what was left.
He said I could help myself. Dangerous words.
As I was feeling so rubbish, sore throat, continual coughing, streaming nose, headache etc I felt like some mindless yarn therapy so I decided to sort out all the oddments. This I duly did. I pulled back all the half-knitted things, sorted out the jumble and wound everything into neat little balls.
Surprisingly enough, it took me all day! But I was working at something considerably less than my normal speed.
There were a few white and cream bits and even a whole ball of grey and one of brown...
...some mauves and purples...
...lots of reds and pinks...
and quite of bit of greens, blues and turquoises...
A pretty good haul all in all.
I'm sorely tempted to make a cushion or blanket, but really I need to use up my own stash first - and I've got much, MUCH more than you see here!!!
I think I'll ask him if he would like me to take these balls to local charity shop...

So sorry you are feeling so rotten. From experience , it does, eventually, go away.
Sorry to hear you're poorly. Hope you get better soon.
What a result with the unwanted yarn. I can see cushions and blankets in the pipeline :)
What a fab haul........hope you feel better soon Penny.
Just to let you know my blog is going private this weekend, as I'm still having problems with a certain person.........I'm adding the blogs I follow to the reading list, so that you can gain access to the blog if you wish.
