And, of course, I've added a few....two pair of socks, my Autumn Zombies and a pair I started in Vermont with some green Zauberball.....and then I started a simple cowl...it's my "on-the-go" knitting, which I actually don't take often....I can't knit at work...there is too many other things to do during plan time and it goes fast....and I only have 30 minutes for lunch...and well I eat....I always drive, so no passenger knitting for me....

Organizing can be so hard but feels so good when it's done.
So nice to have you back with us. Organizing a craft area is so very important. If it is not, then how will we know where anything is. The fact you keep your ravelry pages up to date is admirable. I have never done that and probably should, but............I donate too much yarn to keep tract of what is in and out of my stash. I guess I could keep track of needles and hooks though. I am excited to see our finished photo. I am sure it is going to be lovely also.
Organizing is such a PITA....but oh-so fulfilling when it's finished. And, oddly, when I was teaching, I liked correcting papers. Okay, let's be more specific: I liked correcting math papers, tests, and spelling homework. I didn't like doing the grading for papers...mostly because there were so many things to look for.
I clicked on the link to take a look at your finished WIPs, and WOW! What a lot of prettiness there. :)
While I find organizing actual inventory to be hard and kind of tedious word, it is so helpful for me in gaining clarity and inspiration for what to work on. OTOH, I kind of enjoy the digital organizing on Ravelry and am coming to realize that in itself is something of a hobby. I must be a bookkeeper at heart. Keep up the good work! It's good to see you again in the YOP thread!
I hate correcting, too. I'm so sad I can't teach that much home economics anymore ... no correcting there. Have a nice Sunday, or what's left of it. I'm going to bed now. :-) Regula
Look at all your finishes? Love your stopover. I did some organisation this week and some marking. The former I love, latter not so much!
Can't wait to see your after picture. I can use it to inspire my own organizing challenges.
When my husband and I gave up our woodcrafts side business (which was when I went from working half-days at a preschool to working full-time again), and my crocheting became my main crafts hobby, my yarn was all relatively neatly arranged in the basement. (We have a split-level house with a basement) Then, 4 years ago, we had the living/dining/kitchen level of the house redone (open concept, baby!) So tons of furniture and boxes were shoved into the basement, blocking access to my yarn (gasp!). So, as I purchased new yarn, I was putting it in a corner of the rec room, where I could actually get to it. So now, even though the basement has been accessible for some time now, my yarn has taken over a big chunk of the rec room as well! I crave your big-box yarn for my charitable knit/crochet group at church. We can use ANY type of yarn for SOME kind of donatable project, down to making pads for cats and dogs in rescues and shelters!
Oh I really like your Stopover. I was actually thinking of that pattern today because I cast on for my Strokkur, also calling for Lopi yarn, and enjoying the feel of the yarn so much I started dreaming of other patterns calling for it o.0
I am still trying to organize my yarns and pattern books into Ravelry. Honestly it is overwhelming isn't it? I used to have a yarn room but don't any longer so things are even harder to keep track of. And the picture taking egads. I am a terrible yarn picture taker-er. I will follow your progress to maybe pick up some tips to make the task go by more easily.
The one thing that has helped me honestly has been the stashdown group because we keep track of yardage in and out throughout the year. I am also getting quite a bit accomplished because of the YOPPERS. I feel more inspired to blog and that means I have to have something to blog about :-)
Wow! You have been busy! I love your FO's especially the hat and sweater...gorgeous yarns and finishes! Looks great on you too! I am trying to organize a crafts room and swappin gout some furniture from other rooms etc. It seems I always make a bigger mess to start with before things start looking better. But you need to "unearth" everything before you can start "grouping like things together". Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Good luck and I wish I had that kind of stash! LOL!
Agree with Diannamcheck: "Organizing can be so hard but feels so good when it's done."
