The Yarn Cabinet

As I have acquired more yarn I've just been sticking it into the cabinet, by catagory of course.  Then I received a large shipment that was bagged.  That gave me the incentive to make my yarn inventory cards before putting the yarn in the cabinet.  From there I decided to bag my sock yarn by manufacturer.  Out came the 1 gallon zip lock baggies and the sorting began.  Now all of my sock yarn, that is in balls, is in baggies and have inventory cards made!   Then, looking at the Yarn Cabinet, I decided to start on the worsted weight yarn!  Now most of that is bagged and have inventory cards made!  Progress. 

I think the next step will be the skeins of both lace weight and fine sock yarn!  The process is slow but rewarding.  By the time I get these two done I'll be through the bulk of it.  At this point 4 of the 9 cubes are organized, of which one is not carded but is just for the 2 Classic cardigans from KP and also my beautiful skeins of discontinued lace weight turquoise variegated yarn from Knit Picks.

I also updated my books list and added two books to my Ravelry library.  I did notice a couple of patterns that need to be added to my Ravelry library.

Organization makes it so easy to find what I want and the unexpected discoveries are great!
