[Nfb-krafters-korner] New Year's Knitting Resolutions?

[River Woman]

OH, NUMBER FO"UR is a GREAT ONE for me, too.  Just yesterday, I spent the 
entire day looking through books and magazines - looking for one pattern I 
know I have, for a coat of super bulky yarn.  Did I find it????  Hell, NO!

Instead, I did as you said in your #4 goal...I found a different coat 
pattern in a mazazine and I ordered the yarn to do THAT one, since I cannot 
find the other one I have been searching for.  OK, I know, when the yarn 
arrives and AFTER I start knitting the coat, the one I really wanted to knit 
will show up, just as you said.

I am organizeing all by books and magazines into plastic containers that 
look like cup cake containers. The books and magazines fit into them 
perfectly. Then, they stack on my shelves one on top of the other very nice. 
So I am started on your #4 project right now.  I will continue doing this 
until I have gathered them all in and have ordered my chaos.  For the loose 
things, I am putting them into binders.  One binder for each kind of item: 
Shawls/Shrugs;  Coats/jackets;  hats/mittens/  scarves/  Kids Things;  and 
Misc.

Between the binders and the containers, I should have these things under 
control  pretty soon.
