I just read the funniest thing in the world! I was surfing and looked up "organizing your stuff" for the fun of it. It has been on my mind quite a bit lately as the "stuff" runnith over.
Well, in this article it talked about getting rid of things and that having empty shelves meant you could live in a smaller place, etc. Ok so far. And then the biggie "Put your knitting yarn in a plastic bag." Dear organizer person, if I could put my knitting yarn in a plastic bag there would be no need to read your ideas!
Now if you are any kind of a knitter or fiber person at all, you know that no decent stash is going to fit in A plastic bag. 10 plastic bags, maybe, but one-no way. Anyway that was my giggle for tonight.
I am halfway finished with a multi-directional scarf I am knitting on # 3 circulars using sock yarn. Seemed like a good idea at the start-just didn't expect this to take as long as it is. I wanted a flat scarf that isn't very long. I love the pattern and so have started a second one which will be a gift. For it I am using a larger size sock yarn and # 7 circulars.
Treated myself to an iPod this week. What fun! I have been listening to knitting podcasts while I knit and have found several I really enjoy. I suppose my next purchase will be a docking station but I am currently using the earphones and they are fine. I did get the adaptor for the car but haven't used it yet. Geez, do I feel hi-tech or what?

Nancy, I'm just now getting around to catching up with blogs. What multi-directional scarf pattern are you using? I'm thinking of using up some of my merino sock yarn that way - have decided that I don't make enough socks to have enough merino ones - they don't wear as well as sock yarn. LOVED the "put it in a plastic bag" giggle. Ten plastic bags? Heck, I have 1- plastic bags of fiber to spin; we won't even speak of the yarn....
The pattern I used for the multi-directional scarf was Triangle / Short Row Scarf designed by Sheila Johnson. I found it on the net.
