One of my favourite items in our decluttering program was the acquisition of black velvet clothes hangers (bulk box cost = under $20). After having a motley crew of wire/wooden units that would frustratingly tangle as well as have a tendency to go out of shape, these non slip hangers sit nice and flat and are space saving. They are now one of my go to gifts and the friends I have given them to enjoy them as much as I do.
@Former-Member, I must admit a penchant for the old wooden ones with knitted covers. 🙂 My Mum makes big pouffy ones with knitting lace that my sister loves, but I prefer plainer ones. I have had fun a few times trying out new knitting stitches by making a coathanger cover. I think from memory it was cast on 20 and keep going until the length was right. That's a good size for a "sampler" piece. Big enough to get real practice at the new stitch, but not so big that it becomes an interminable task.
@Former-Member, sounds like you and @Determined would enjoy a joint gardening session. I like things somewhat more eclectic. 🙂 The more it looks like a wild forest meadow, the better.
