knitting kitchen

Lately, I’ve been working on several projects at once. As I was racing around the house yesterday, trying to find all of the pertinent pieces of paper for the projects du jour, I cursed myself one more time for being disorganized, being scattered, having too much going on…what was I looking for again?

At least this time I’d taken good notes about each project. Needle sizes, gauges, weird shaping, was all written down. The problem this time is I used two diffenent quadrile notebooks, one black, one green. And a ring binder. And that three-subject spiral-bound notebook that I had to start using because I had a brainstorm work. On the upside, the number of receipts with important notes stuck into knitting books to mark pages was kept to a minimum. I have to congratulate myself on this small bit of progress.

In my dream life, I have someone who follows me around and puts all the discarded knitting needle tips back into the Needlemaster case. And the Knit Picks tips into whatever container they should be in. All the Addis, back into their Addi home…all the US 6s, 7s, 8s, etc. into the super-cool three-ring binder-with-the-zip-lock-pages needle organizer that I have.  I can live with the piles of yarn, large and small, on every surface. My incredibly loving and supportive family pretend they don’t notice as long as I continue to ply them with mittens, socks, and sweaters.  I’d also have a measuring tape, needle sizer, darning needles, and scissors near every single chair in my home.  and a pen, and a notebook, and a calculator.

This is why my house has that ‘lived in’ look.

My brother-in-law mentioned this on his facebook page.  What an incredible smarty pants! Now I can keep all of my virtual scraps from my digital meanderings organized and searchable. I suppose in the material world, this is known as a filing cabinet?
