| My go-to knitting pile of late |
Today's topic for Knitting & Crochet Blog week is about organization. I'm not sure where I fall on the organization spectrum, but I'd guess somewhere in the middle. I think that is called being semi-organized. What I do have organized is that books are with books, magazines are with magazines, yarn is with yarn, etc, however it is not all in the same place. It is scattered throughout the apartment. I'm not sure I'm at fault for not being organized though. We've moved quite a bit in the last two years, so I think I'm going to blame that. Another issue is that we live in an apartment, so our space is limited. In an ideal world I would have a craft room and it would be my space to organize and be creative in.

The biggest thing that has helped me with organization has been
ravelry. A couple of years ago Mr. SpiderKate (who is making quite a few appearances in this blog as of late) prompted me to take pictures of my yarn and put it on ravelry in my stash. I thought that it would help me figure out what to do with the yarn since a lot of it was bought just because with only an inkling of an idea of what I was going to knit with it. Putting the stash into ravelry did help, but it has helped a lot more recently since they've added the "yarns idea" tab. Love that tab!!! Ravelry has also prompted me to take more pictures of my knitting and has definitely given me a space to write notes about projects. In the beginning I didn't write a lot of notes, but I know that this year I have been taking copious amounts of notes on projects - especially projects that I've adapted to work with the yarn I picked or the amount of yarn that I had available.
