I Kind of Lost My Mind Today...

A few weeks ago a ran across a website that is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Ravelry is an online community for knitters and crocheters. It is a place where people of all ages can come together in thier love of fiber arts; they can share patterns, knowledge, yarn, etc. It is also a place to organize and share projects and see what others are working on.

The organizational part of the website is what made me kind of loose my mind today. There is a place on the website where you can list what is in your stash. I decided today that I would do just that. My dining room became a fiber war zone. I pulled out every piece of yarn I own and started organizing. Not only did I enter everything onto the website but I also set up a makeshift photography background and photographed all my yarn as well. In order to photograph the yarn effectively I had to rewind much of it, which Boo was happy to "help" with. While I was at it I also put it all in individually labeled ziplock bags. I am a sick, sick individual but I now know exactly what I have and how much, it is all in one place, and all my yarn has been kid proofed against both fleshy and furry kids alike.
