Still knitting

I have been very busy lately, I am knitting even though I haven't taken photos yet.

I am on my stash reduction kick at the moment, trying to make floor space in the yarn room (study, sewing room etc room). I have knitted 4 pairs of bootees reducing my baby yarn draw by a few balls...yahoo. Even better I have reduced my feathers yarn by about 6 balls....phew....this is tiresome work... with about 6 scarfs. I am now knitting a sweet little baby jumper in a light mauve 3ply 100% wool (Australian Heirloom Wool), it is pretty plain knitting with a lacey yoke, I have done the back and am on the front, I can't wait to get the front and sleeves done so I can get to the lacey yoke bit.

Last night after a few hours knitting, I decided that I would clean up all the patterns I have printed off the net, I bought some bright green and dark purple folders last week to put them in. I think I sorted them in some type of order that I will remember: Ladies knitting in one, Childrens in another, odds and ends, instructions on how to do specific things in another and my favourite folder is for socks, hats, scarfs and rugs. So another bit of stuff off the floor cleaned up. You know what this will mean, more floor to sweep each day, bugger there is always a down side to doing some things isn't there. And when do I think I will have time to do anymore cleaning. I think I have it down to the bare minimum now, but it works OK for me, I just have to train other inhabitants to clean up after themselves then I will be much better off.

This saturday I am off on my annual SEx trip with the local Knitter Guild, this year we are going to the Southern Highlands, one of my favourite places, especially in Autumn as they have all the lovely trees that turn the most beautiful colours in Autumn, although I think it will be a bit early for that, I was on a ride up there last Saturday afternoon/evening and they hadn't changed colours yet, a few more weeks or so. We are visiting about 5 yarns stores, one of the stores had an article on it in the latest Creative Knitting magazine. I am going to try and be very good though, as I am on a STASH REDUCTION kick, not an enhancement kick at the moment.
