Inventory time!

I know, I know, I know-I need to post pictures. I'll get around to that someday. ;)

Well, the stitch-n-bitch that Perseph and I went to on the 6th turn out not to be at stitch-n-bitch, but a crochet club meeting. That was cool-they said I could stay. ;) It was at River Yarns in Rocky River-they have a crochet club and a knitting club that meets once a month. Also, during the club meetings you get a 10% discount at their store. It was really cool-everyone was really nice, and the owners didn't try to push us into buying their stuff. They were all friendly and informative-I even got a tip on an easier way to rip out a row and to place the stitches back on the needle. Yay! (since I had to do that on the project I was working on.) We loved it and hope to be able to attend both the crochet and knitting meetings. (We would have attended the knitting club meeting, but it was on Holy Thursday, and Perseph's sister was coming into town-YAY!) :-D

I started an inventory on all my knitting supplies-I started off with my needles and crochet hooks. I got a knitting pocket reference from Creative Knitting which has a page for hook and needle inventory-now when I start a new project, I'll know if I need new needles or not! (without digging through my stuff) ;) I also started to organize all of the patterns I had collected and printed out-most are in file folders with the pattern and the creator listed on the front of the folder...too many cool patterns, not enough time! I still need to do a yarn inventory-not that I have much, since I've only bought yarn to go with a pattern...although I do have the yarn from 'Mom's closet stash' that I got last year... (yay, Mom!!)

Speaking of too many patterns, the other day I got a new issue of Creative Knitting and a catalog from Mary Maxim at the same time. I had to throw both of them under some throw pillows just so I wouldn't look through them so I could finish my household chores! So many cool patterns...*sigh*

Actually knitting is going slowly at the moment-I do a couple of rows here and there, rip out a few rows here and there...knit them back up again-hopefully correctly the second time around. ;) Maybe I need to pick up a few projects that are in my UFO basket. I might get something done and feel as though I've accomplished something! ;) LOL.

test

This is just a test-I can't post to Wandering in E-Space, so I'm checking to see if it's blogger or just my blog. This is no April Fools joke-ah...how I wish it was though. grrr!
