I got a new mushroom shaped ottoman for the knitting room. It has enough storage space for most of my very small warping yarns. This in turn gave me room to swap out to shelves that store yarn and projects. The warping cones went to the small bookshelf and the kits to the more roomy bookshelf. The advantage to this is that when I want a larger cone of yarn, I will not have a bunch of cones falling on my feet. I also have a larger area to put kits of yarn. This makes them more visible.
To tell you the absolute truth is that I am searching my yarn stash for a certain shade of brown and yellow in a luxury fiber like silk and linen blend or just silk or maybe something more exotic, before I search the bins. This of course is for my bespoke shawl. So far I have not found neither. So the bins it is for some stash diving.
I also put away a slew of books and started a Bookman’s bag. All totaled it took all of 30 minutes. Which was wonderful, because I only had 30 minutes of spoons.
I also got 6 inches into a broken rib charity scarf from the 3 pound cone of yarn. This will be scarf number 5, with at least 15 to 20 more to go. At least when I pair the yarn on the cone with a worsted weight yarn I can use U.S. size 13 knitting needles so it goes extremely fast.
I am wishing everyone a wonderful week.
