Decision time

Still organising

Published by mityka under Etsy,Knitting,Knitting Needles

If you thought that I’m fully organised now, that I’ve put away my neatly winded balls and cleverly organised project bags, you are WRONG. My needles are still in a tangled mess. Except the straights. They are bent. Something must be done with them. Again, Etsy. I have found some wonderful, clever needle organisers. You [...]
