The floor of the knitting room is now cleared of all but one basket. The baskets all have shelve space. The one basket that does not has my Navajo spindle in it. I currently do not have any shelve space in the entire house that could possibly accommodate it. There are also No project bags on the floor. All the project bags are either empty and placed in storage, hanging on a hanger, or last but not least on a shelf.
Rumor has it that a certain robot is willing to vacuum the entire knitting room floor for me tomorrow.
Don’t get me wrong there is still work to do in the knitting room. While cleaning I opened various project bags. For each bag I went through the matrix below.
1. Keep the yarn and pattern together. Then try to find time to finish it.
2. Keep the yarn for another project. Give the pattern away.
3. Prepping the yarn for woven or knit charity scarves (non Superwash wool). Prepare the yarn for knitting charity hats ( Superwash wool or cotton). Some of my hand spun yarn is going into both sets of projects.
4. Put the yarn into the Goodwill box.
I have not gone through all my project bags yet so there is still more work to do. I have enough yarn for almost a dozen hand knit scarves prepared. Also enough for at least a dozen shades of blue and green woven scarfs. Yes while I was organizing things I put the yarn in color palettes for weaving.
Did I mention that I have a huge pile of circular knitting needles to put away too. That should take a couple of hours at a later date. Most likely when I need a certain circular knitting needle and can not find the right size.
I even found time to work on a new knitting design and a few rows of weaving. I was not cleaning all day because I am recovering from the latest sinus infection and the beginning of the….wait for it….post getting sick arthritis flare up.
TTFN. It’s time to call it a day.
