Summer cleaning

Posted on | August 4, 2005 | 2 Comments

So I decided to do a little bit of cleaning and organizing this weekend after a trip to IKEA. I bought some magazine holders to tame my growing collection and some nice stripy boxes for my stash.

Thing is, I really didn’t think I even had much of a stash. When I first started knitting, I was very, very disciplined and would only move on to the next project when the last was finished – well, about 90% of the time. Well, it seems that over the past 5 years, I have actually collected enough yarn to safely call it a stash.

Yes, there is a second layer under there!

I guess my downfall was the net. When I first started knitting, I didn’t really connect the two. Now I’m checking out what everyone else is doing – get jealous – and need to go buy more yarn for that particular project. Plus there are all of those lovely online yarns stores that occasionally have some pretty good sales – how could anyone resist! And as I am writing this, I remembered that I have about 25 more balls of yarn hidden in three different corners of my room………

So now some more organizing – a little recap of WIP and projects in queue:

1. Lucky – still need to block and stitch
2. Fairisle – finishing up front
3. Butterfly – first frill done! Yay!
4. Hot Lava – the Manos is calling my name
5. First Aid - (Rowan 32) Polar was being discontinued and was onsale. Yes, I waited long enough!
6. Petit Chou - bought the yarn when Knitty Summer 04 came out, just a little behind

Patterns I’ve bought recently:

1. Orangina
2. One skein wonder
3. Silk ribbed corset

Then there are all these wonderful things that I want to knit from the new fall collections. Too many to mention!!!!!

Guess I should close this entry and get knittn’, cause I sure have plenty of it to do!
