Sometimes I have to just knit.......but seem to avoid starting big items lol so yet another head hugger.
Another successful trip to scrapstore.......torn in places but made of lovely old cotton, a nightdress....great for dyeing at some point.
Now a warning...........any idea what this below is?
I scrunched up the wrong lottery ticket, one I hadnt checked....
so thought Id iron it so it would go through the stores lottery machine for checking .............
DONT DO IT!
Though I ironed on the back side of the ticket, the printed numbers side...........turned black with the heat! How or why Ive no idea lol
I just hope it wasnt a winning ticket! lol
i don't buy lottery tickets much anymore but when i did, i used to save them for a long time after just in case. it must be treated with something to turn black like that.
ReplyDeleteOh my - that would be something I would do with a lottery ticket, or I'd lose it completely. Very nice nightie - some of the old torn ones are the softest and nicest fabric.
ReplyDeleteSeveral questions rattling around:
ReplyDeleteWas it a winning ticket?
What made it turn black?
And more importantly - can you do anything creative with it now that it's changed colour?
You could be on to a winner with an undiscovered surface to work on. :))
The old cotton nightdress is a great find.
ReplyDeleteTill receipts do that when I put them in the fire, before they set alight....like Deanna, I think they may be treated with something. How frustrating that you will never know if you were a winner!
Lyn, that would frustrate the heck out of me. Well, now you know you can't iron lottery tickets, sigh.
ReplyDeleteI like your hat, you sure have been a knitting machine lately! And great find, seeing your soft cotton piece makes me want to go thrifting tomorrow.
