Neuter your knitwear

Here in Ireland, it is autumn. The leaves have turned,  out come the heavier clothes, it’s noticeably darker out, and I even had to wear gloves the other day. We really needed our sweaters this past week, and it was a perfect opportunity for me to try my new gadget. 
LIDL had the AquaPur lint remover in stock a couple weeks ago and I’m glad I got one. I’ve already tackled some of my favorite scarves and cardigans, which were looking really old since they were covered in little lint balls. I also tackled fiance’s sweater which was in a really bad state all over {below}, and really does look like new. 
Lint removers are great for any fabric garment {not just knitwear} which after some wear, builds up a lovely collection of those little lint balls, which usually form around cuffs, under arms and around lapels.

Dublin Flea Market – Sunday the 25th of September

Where exactly has September gone? I only realized this morning today is the last Sunday of the month, which means the monthly Dublin Flea Market is today! If you’re around, it’s from 11am-5pm in Newmarket. I better get ready …

My favorite picks – getting in gear

1. All you can eat Sunday’s at Yo! Sushi. Need I say more? 
2. Puma BodyTrain LS. I’m getting my ass in gear since I’m painfully unfit, and these babies are doing it. I’ve been so good recently, walking 3.6km every morning. Plus, they’re really comfortable. Now, where’s my bag of Minstrels … 
3. Crivit raincoat from LIDL. That’s right, a raincoat. I went in to get a bottle of wine the other day, and came out with this raincoat. But seriously, it’s miles better than my previous, and I’ve used it every day this week.
4. House and Home September/October edition. It’s been in my handbag for the past two weeks, and for good reason. I don’t want to say why, because I don’t want to jinx it 🙂
It’s kind of been a very long time since I updated my favorite picks. Probably because I think it’s a bit silly, but it forces me to keep track of the things I’ve found useful or cute over the past week or two.
