I worked on a lot, but can't show any of it!
I got very organized this weekend! I am very proud of my self! I organized my bathroom linen closet (most of it is my stuff) and I got the great idea from Black Olive on how to better organize my yarn! If you scroll down to the September 6th entry on her site you can see her lovely yarn on display. Mind you this isn't a "look at what I got" entry. I am a little ashamed really.
I had these wire cubes up for a while now. I always shoved everything in there and they were all in canvas or some sort of tote bag. You couldn't see the yarn! So I went out and bought a butt load of those zip lock freezer bags and started shoving the yarn in there. I figure this way I can see what I have and I won't buy more! Right? No? Who am I kidding! I actually got real anal and sorted it by wool vs cotton vs hand spun vs I didn't care by Noon. I looked it all over and was very pleased. Then I opened my closet and found this
Yes it is more yarn. This is the yarn that I will make sweaters from. In a perfect world I will use up the stuff on the wire shelves and bring out the stuff in the boxes. Why do I want more? sigh.........
Oh yeah, that IS a guitar shaped purse! It was one of my birthday presents.

You have a sickness. You need to be stopped. I will be creating KA - knitters anonymos. Stop the madness! Stop the insanity! For those of you out there, Beth is my best friend and I'm truly worried - it's breaking my heart!!
Just kidding - hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :-)

That purse is AWESOME. I miss my guitar now -whyaaah - I was just digging through all my yarn and now I see yours all organized and said to myself, "Self, see, it CAN be done - so what's your problem?" good job - well done - the world of knitters is very proud.

I am envious of your yarn. Take maybe TWO of those cube sections and that's what I've got. Not much. Oh well. I feel less pressure this way. If I had more...i'd feel really bad when I never got around to working with it.

Great job, I was wondering if you bought or made your guitar purse?? I am looking for a pattern to make one and I am having no luck! Thanks!!!
