Getting organised
The spring cleaning bug hit me. Not that much that I have cleaned the windows, but enough to start to organise my projects.
I must confess, I’m not the tidy type. I only put things away when it is absolutely impossible to find anything. Now, that I reached that point again, I start from the top of the pile, sort projects out, and rewind tangled skeins.
God has sent us knitters the “Project Bags”. Think nothing fancy, it could be a Tesco bag. The trick is: you put one project – I repeat: ONE – in a bag, with every tool and aid you will need in that project: Knitting needles, cable needle, pattern, charts, buttons, crochet needle, stitch markers, stitch holders, etc.
With this method, whenever you put your project away, you will need not to worry to collect the whole shebang again.
Just remember to put everything back in the SAME project bag, after you finished.
And an advice from me: Do not forget to mark your pattern, where you finished. It could be mind boggling to find the way, if you touch your project – say: a month later again.
Ask me how I know.
Oh, yes, and if you need something fancy, go for it! I know from experience, that a nice project bag itself can pull the trigger, and make you organise things.
Take a look around Etsy or Ebay, and you will surely find some inspiration.
