Organizing and cleaning......

I have been organizing and cleaning today. I decided that I needed to take stock. It was good to see that I really didn't have as many unfinished things as I thought I did. I like to call them UFO's or UnFinished Objects. As it is late I am not sure I can give you an exact count but I will get to that in my next posting.

I took a ton of photos and managed to exceed my free limit on flickr. I then went to Ravelry and uploaded and stashed all of my yarn....well not all. Not yet at least. Most of it. I entered in all of the info and then made notes too. I love that site! Then I also got all of my knitting needles and all 2 of my crochet hooks inventoried too. Oh and I found the rest of my interchangeable needles. This is really a big deal as I thought some of them were goners. I have all of them....wahoo! It is really nice to see on a screen in front of me what I have for what projects. The other nice thing is that I can reference and see what others have made from the yarn I have stashed.

In cleaning today I have gotten rid of at least one or two smaller bags of garbage. I have made a commitment to myself that I am going to rid the house of junk this year. I need to downsize our stuff.......not for any reason in particular but just to downsize. I am doing well so far. This is one of the first steps in doing so. I feel really good about today. I even got some knitting in at Bible Study tonight. Working on husband's Malabrigo scarf still. So the day was great! Good cleaning, good company, good knitting.....what more could I have asked for today!!!

Happy knitting........
