I then sorted out all of the knitted items I seemed to have by me, some that are to go to charity, others as gifts. I tackled the yarn cupboard next! I already had a bag of odds and ends but decided that I would go through and sort all the odd balls and designate them to a charity yarn pile.
I then tipped out the bag and sorted all the odds and ends, bits that may just knit a row were also included. I now have a nice tidy box into which I will add ends as I finish projects. It amazed me how many shades of red there are in this box and to see what I actually had by way of odd balls.
The plan is only take charity projects to my knitting groups, leaving my main projects at home to work on at my leisure. A satisfying couple of hours and its still raining
Hasn't it been such a wet dreary day. At 1pm it felt like 4 here. Having a tidy up is s great way to start a new year, I tackled my sewing drawer yesterday but all things yarn has been left for another day.
ReplyDeleteI need to get that job done to.....one of these days.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the header photo!
We have a hospice charity shop in Hull that specialises in selling anything craft related and they have about 7 boxes like yours there, all full of half and full balls.
ReplyDeleteThey sell really well - just don't ask me how many Ive bought ( and still not used !)
Well done on a job clearly well done : )
It always feels good to get things organized. I think the first of the year kind of brings that out, too. I sorted old files/bills and a closet one day and cleaned out the pantry another.
