    Is anybody in here so OS that they can cook, eat and live without shopping for months on end ? Like past generations who maybe lived on a remote farm & only went to the town a few times a year ..? I would like to really try for this next year, and would welcome your ideas and tips on how to do it. :D

    Look, mardatha, you set the parameters for this thread, don't blame me if I'm doing what you suggested back at the start :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I don't knit socks so much though - I'll swap you a few dishcloths for a nice pair of socks if you like... :D

    Does anyone spin their own yarn to knit into dishcloths?

    Runs away to hide from Mardatha and her lynch mob! :D
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!

    Um, no, because I don't know how to spin cotton!

    Sadly, I have been known to unravel things to turn them into dishcloths...

    Ok CC, I think that means you win the Queen of Old Style award! :D Can someone knit her up a trophy or make one out of leftovers?
