New Discoveries

Tuesday I had to go to the dentist office and have some work done on my teeth. Afterwards I could only eat soft food and was told not to do anything strenuous. I had a lot of yarn laying around in baskets that needed to be put away so instead of knitting I organized my knitting.

In the process I discovered I had a lot of yarn. I keep giving away boxes of it but I still have a lot. I have enough yarn to knit 3 or 4 pairs of socks, unending shawls and scarfs and numerous sheep, Alan dart patterns and loads of knitted toys and animals. I have numerous projects set aside with the pattern and yarn ready to go and somewhere along the line I've misplaced some of my needles but I think they are just in with those UFOs in the other closet.

In the end all of the yarn went into large tubs grouped together by

cottons
sock yarns
fuzzy and decorative yarns
dk weights
heavy and bulky weights

It's amazing to me that I have an entire tub just for sock yarn. Lot's of it is the leftover remnants of socks previously knitted but I still can't get rid of it. It might turn into baby socks.

Now all of the tubs are in the utility room, ready but out of sight. The current projects are in the picnic basket hanging out in my bedroom closet, close at hand and at the ready.
