organization continues . . .

| 4 comments

I cleaned my closet this morning. What has come over me, seriously. It’s like someone far more neat and clean than I has taken over my body.

I also took a walk, and went to Sophie’s Yarns. They’re moving in February to a space on Fabric Row, which excites me greatly, as I live off of Fabric Row. I chatted with the owner about the new space for a while, as I tried to fend off the aggressively friendly store cat. What is it about knitting stores and cats? Honestly, cats are nice and all, but I don’t want their hair and dander all over materials I’m going to be holding for hours on end, what with being allergic. Still, I like Sophie’s Yarns, and I like the owner quite a bit.

no! not the stash!

| 2 comments

Amylovie has challenged me to reveal my whole stash here for all to see. This is a more daunting task than you might think. I’m sloppy about storing my stash, and I always know, in the back of my mind, that I really ought to go in and organize it.

About a year ago I did such an organization, but it’s time for another. So, do I take this opportunity? Do I pull everything out for a picture and then pack it away carefully? This is so terrifying an idea, and it came up on me with so little warning, that I’m going to have to stew on it. In the meantime, let me show all the spots where yarn currently lives.

post-stitches

| 6 comments

I tried to post about this earlier today, but the blogger photo uploader was acting up, so I’m going to try again. (It’s still acting up. This post has a combo of blogger and flickr photos.)

So I rented a car yesterday and drove out to Atlantic City. It took pretty much exactly an hour, much to my surprise (I’d been under the impression it would take a little longer than that). Luckily, it took my mom less time to get there from Maryland than she thought, so we converged at about the same time. We grabbed some food (right before the line got reeeally long) and then cruised the aisles. Here’s all my booty:

the yarn!

| 1 comment

Photos of me in the Tivoli might have to wait, because my boyfriend isn’t back from his run yet and the light is fading fast outside. (I will see how well it comes out with flash, etc.)

But! I just dashed outside and took some shots of the yarn that arrived today. I’m not sure even the outdoor light did justice to the colors.

a fax of yarn?

| 3 comments

The office manager sent me an instant message before lunch today: “You have a box.” But on a quick glance, I totally thought it said “You have a fax.” Now, I never ever receive faxes, so my response was “!? weird,” and she said, “Yeah, from Crafts Americana.” I was so confused. Then I thought to read back, and when box became clear, I got all excited: It meant my yarn order for the Union Square Market Pullover had arrived. Joy!
