Yarn Organization

This weekend I thought I would get control of my stash, patterns, books and my knitting tools. I have been known to buy the same colorway of certain yarns again because I am drawn to yarn by color, not necessarily by type of yarn. I have a palm TX

to organize my life and use [tag]Documents to Go[/tag] frequently. I am a whiz with MS programs having used them since they were created. (Did I mention I started using computers when I was a baby? LOL)

Because my palm is never far from me, I thought it would be a wonderful idea to also use my palm to get control of my yarn purchasing.

My idea was to create a workbook in excel. In this workbook I would put all my yarns by type, list all my needles, books and patterns. I thought to also list my class schedule and favorite LYS here as well as in my address book.

Well, after digging through my stash, putting all the yarns into bins by weight and logging them into my palm, I came to a conclusion.

It’s more fun to buy the yarns than it is to organize them! Thankfully I don’t have duplicate patterns or books (that has happened before) but this is an endless task!

I think I will take a chocolate break now!

As a knitter, I am always on the lookout for new and interesting patterns to add to my collection. Recently, I came across Sirdar’s TEDDY BEAR CARDIGANS IN SNUGGLY SNOWFLAKE CHUNKY, design number 5404. This pattern caught my attention because of its adorable teddy bear motif pockets, and the fact that it comes in two different styles – a V-neck and shawl collar version.

The fluffy Snuggly Snowflake Chunky yarn that is used in this pattern adds an extra touch of warmth and coziness.

I have to admit, I haven’t had the chance to knit this pattern yet, but it’s definitely on my list of patterns to complete this year. The fact that it is classified as an easy level makes it accessible for knitters of all skill levels and I’m excited to give it a try. The pattern includes detailed instructions and charts, making it easy for knitters to follow along and create a beautiful and functional piece.

I love the idea of the teddy bear pockets and I can imagine how adorable it would look on a baby. The fact that the pattern comes in two different styles gives me the flexibility to choose the one that best suits my needs or preferences.

I am excited to add this pattern to my list of projects to complete this year. I believe that this pattern is a great choice for knitters looking for a cute and cozy project that is easy to make. I can’t wait to start knitting and see the final product.
