Ros I love how your jumper turned out! The drop sleeves look really good on you as you have the shoulders for them. You must finish that Honeycomb Shawl as that will be beautiful to wear now in Winter! It is looking amazing! Guess what? Last Tuesday I started knitting for the first time and I'm loving it!!! Take care & stay warm! ❤ Susannah

Hi love your finished shawl. Enjoy your mini break. About a month ago I went through my stash and matched items up with patterns I had been meaning to make. I took photos of the yarn with label and picture of the finished item. I created projects on ravelry, just putting in pattern name and source, basic yarn info, what project it was in or where it was put and marked it as hibernating. I ended up with about 5 crochet and 5 knitting projects in project/plastic bags. They are a mix of portable , larger, complex and tv watching projects. They are stored on two shelves and it has made by decision making for the next project more seamless. I also feel more motivated to finish a project as I can just look on ravelry and know what is ready to go. It won’t be a rigid system, but for me it has reduced the procrastination I was feeling. I’ve finished three smaller projects that weren’t part of this process but did use my stash, as they fitted better with what was happening in my life.

I love your plan! I have done a little bit of organization - which I’ll talk about on the next episode. Sorted the stash, added to Ravelry and updated my pattern queue. It’s quite motivating! And getting out my yarn and seeing it has reminded me what I have and makes me excited for new projects!!
