Spring Cleaning

I have been trying to use up some stash yarn for swaps and for the Great Cowl KAL. But the more I went through the stash, the more it looked like the craft room had exploded. Today I managed to get most of the stash contained. Still not organized very well, but feels good to have things in boxes/bins, and not just strewn across the floor!

I've also been putting loose patterns in a 3 ring binder. Eventually I'd like to add dividers to make it easier to find certain types of patterns, but one step at a time!

Going through the yarn stash also meant going through some unfinished objects. Since the Great Cowl KAL is over (more on that next time), I decided to start by finishing a cowl from a KAL last fall. Just need to pick up stitches for the button band. Now that I've done button holes a couple times I'm feeling confident that this won't take too long to finish. I even have the buttons already!
Also have a shawl to finish, and then contemplating another shawl for a new KAL.

Still more spring cleaning to do in the rest of the house, but right now I'm ready for some more knitting!

Happy Spring

I attended a lovely Spring Equinox ritual over the weekend. We were even out to be outside, though the rain started just as we were finishing!

My swap partner also received her package over the weekend, so here is the picture as promised:


A birdie, 3 bunnies, and some green fun fur in the back of the basket (there is a use for fun fur novelty yarn!)

How are you celebrating spring?
