Stashing stash.......

May 12, 2006

Have started my organizational challenge. The plastic bags with zippers that bedding comes in, may not be the proper way to treat my wool stash. Having noticed a bit of dryness in a roving and a ball of yarn lately, I have been thinking it was time to change the method.

Went to the Dollar Tree down the street and purchased all of the mesh laundry zip bags they had. not many :( Someone esle must of gotten the same idea. I put the yarn for one project together in one of the bags. I think I might have a problem with this method too. I will have to troll every Dollar Tree to get more bags.

Thanks to my mom for thinking outside the box, I have a tall bureau that doesn't get properly used because of its location in the bedroom. Currently it has a few items of clothing that I haven't worn in forever. The doors are currently being kept shut by a rubber band over the door knobs. See the real reason I stopped using it might really be because the cats love to nap inside of the bureau. Why bother doing laundry and neatly folding your clothes when a cat will be pushing thier way in it to make the perfect niche to sleep?! Everytime I would try to find a t-shirt it would be mussed and coated in fur.

Maybe when i get more mesh bags i will also look for those plastic child locks they sell for cabinets. Cause I really don't want any cats making a bed out of the 2lbs of lilac merino susperwash roving I recently purchased! Why i bought it I'm not completely sure. Think I lost my mind at that moment. See, I have dropspindles, but not a wheel yet. That's alot of spindling if I want to knit a sweater in this lifetime with it.
