The Big O


That's ORGANIZATION ya'll.  Okay, a little cheesy!!  Organization is on my mind a lot right now.  The last few (or four, or five, or dozen) times I have opened the big yarn cabinet, everything inside has tumbled out.  I wouldn't even bother to count the number of times I have picked up that yarn and piled it back into the cabinet.  It would only point out that I should probably put the cabinet flat on the floor and just throw the yarn in the open doors.  I need help!!
 
Considering the fact that I am one of the most organized people around, at least at work, it didn't make sense for me to continue fighting with the lack of order, so on the way home today I stopped at the Dollar Store and bought plastic baskets in three different sizes.  LOTS of baskets!!  I finished the top and middle shelves this evening and will save the big bottom shelf for the weekend when I can pull everything out and dive in.  Then, I can think about what to do with the rest of it--the stuff in baskets and the sagging hanging shelves. 
Hot pink cowl in linen stitch is finished and blocked.  Cowl #2 is started, along with a lace scarf in organic cotton.  Pictures next time.

It is amazing how much knitting I get done between clients in the office.  The most important thing is that it gives me a method of relaxation between hurricanes that I wouldn't have otherwise--except for the time I spend shoe and bag shopping on the internet!  Aren't these the cutest things?  Okay, okay, back to work!!

I have resisted a second cabinet but it might be the only way. And yes, I would still have yarn that wouldn't fit in the 2nd cabinet. What to do, what to do!!

Love it. I need more organization with my stash, but not today. You're clearly more productive than I am.

It was necessary! I was looking for three skeins of Skinny Cotton in a pale turquoise color. I knew they were in that cabinet but even with all the skeins that fell out I couldn't find them. I did find the yarn but there is no way to know how long it will take me to finish that bottom shelf. LOL!!
