2. Lots of progress on the SWTC projects- the sweater should be done in a day or two and the Top Secret Project soon after.
3. I spent a few hours last night cleaning out the Yarn Closet- I decided to switch from organizing by weight to organizing by fiber. It somehow looks nicer this way. I was surprised to find that I have quite a bit of silk- I didn't realize that. I also filled one large Rubbermaid container with yarn for current (so I don't have to carry ALL of it at once in my bag) and immediately upcoming projects. It's full:
(2 bags Cilantro, 3 bags SWTC Karaoke- 2 colors, 1 bag SWTC Gianna, 1 bag Noro Silk Garden, and 1 bag of angora blend for my Bohus)
Once I get through this I can try hacking away at my stash- currently at 15 Rubbermaid boxes (only one of these is a huge one, though). I've never succeeded at yarn diets and I get a lot of samples from yarn companies too, so the pile just gets bigger no matter what, it seems. I guess I shouldn't complain!

ok, you can tell me how NOT to buy more yarn.. I started to organize my yarn, and have unofficially 15 projects lined up.. and fall yarns are here!!!!
I avoid looking at my whole stash at one time, it makes me nervous! I DID just finally put all my fiber into one bin, and it's FULL! I better get spinning! Hey, for the one skein wonder, do you think the sari silk is soft enough? I know you have worked with it before.
I think it's Mango Moon, I'll have to check when I go home. I just ordered the pattern from Glampyre, I'm waiting for confirmation so I can download it. It should be a quick knit, I'm excited. I think I can use my handspun llama and make the same thing too.
Thanks for your help!
