Hey Wool-Weenies: Off Season Storage

I wear mine year-round.

Hey, we got all excited because it got up to 68 degrees yesterday!

I'm coming over there. I can't do 90s.

While I don't have much in the way of wool bikewear (my tank is good for year-round wear), my hand-knit sweaters and scarves and things live in drawers with cedar blocks. I'd love a proper cedar chest, because I have some wool blankets that I'm working on, as well as the one my grandmother made me...

Conversation:

Malkin: I think I want a hope chest.
Brewer: What are you hoping for?
Me: Hoping that vermin don't eat our wool kit!

There's something about the wool threads on here, they're always so good!

Owlie, I would love a cedar chest too, even though my handmade blankets are all acrylic.

Anyway. Like Knotted, my woollies (all two of them) seem to be getting year round use. I imagine that they might get the month off in August, but will just stay in their regular drawer.

I got mine the old fashioned way, I inherited it from my Grandmother.
And after a furniture restorer removed the gastly green paint, it's really pretty - although the feet look like they came off of something from the 70's instead of a 1940 era piece of furniture.

I got one yesterday--the modern way--second or third hand from the local online classifieds. The cost was less than one wool jersey!

There were several to choose from: each ugly in its own way, but maybe that's really what scares the vermin away.

Heh heh heh...

Picked up another cedar chest yesterday. This one, the cute guy had made for his cute wife, 2 drawers (on rollers) on the bottom and a big chest on top.
They both seemed like it had been a good idea-- but she couldn't figure out where to put it in the house, and he seemed unsatisfied by how it had turned out.

It's the perfect height for the kitty to sit on and look out the window!
