Yarn, yarn everywhere. Today I must get a hold of my stash. There is yarn in four rooms. That would be OK if it didn’t look junky, and I could always find what I need. But I can’t. I will have to bring it all to the living room, sort it into appropriate lots, take it all down to the basement, and begin again. I received a new bag of donated yarn this weekend that will have to be sorted in the mix. I’ll be happier for getting this done. I’m also happy that the quantity of my stash is not out of hand. Tidy it up and get knitting again.
On Sunday I donated 18 scarves to the homeless people our church serves through PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter). There is a lot of abandoned acrylic yarn that finds its way to me. I knit it into sturdy easy care scarves for people who really need them. Charity knitting is at the heart of my knitting endeavor that I call Warm Heart Hand Knits. Knitting for the homeless keeps my heart warm while keeping the necks of the homeless warm.
11:15 pm update: Stash successfully realigned by fiber, color group and weight: grouped by possible future creations. Love those 2 ft x 2.7 ft. zip-lock bags! Lugged it all back to the basement. Ibuprofen taken. Let the happier begin.
