I am completely overwhelmed by the response to the publication of the Manchester Shawl a couple of weeks ago.\u00a0 Thank you to everyone who had purchased and given me very positive feedback.\u00a0 This has been a MASSIVE confidence boost to me and I am now looking at ways I can make 2017 my year of designing and publishing.\u00a0 I have lots of shawls made that I need to write up, and design ideas that I need to work through!<\/p>\n

At the moment I’m working on a Tunisian shawl design.\u00a0 I had looked for a shawl that had certain elements and found lots of shawls that were *nearly* right but nothing that was *exactly* right.\u00a0 So decided to make my own.\u00a0 After lots of false starts and ‘almost’ rights (I like this, and this but not that….) I think I finally have a combination that is working so that is finally coming along\"Tunisian<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m loving the yarn though.<\/p>\n

Talking of yarn I’ve decided that I need to pull out the Stash and reorganise it all (again).\u00a0 I need to order some boxes for it and dedicate a day to putting it all on the floor and then back into some better order.\u00a0 At the moment I have two large boxes (and several smaller ones.\u00a0 And maybe a couple of drawers.\u00a0 And my ‘current project bags’……oh dear) which is ‘sorted’ into UNDER 4ply and OVER 4ply.<\/p>\n

As much as I love those beautiful photos of rainbow cascading yarn cakes, it just isn’t practical with my life and I really don’t need to split by colour group or fibre – it’s not that kind of stash.\u00a0 Frankly if I sorted my stash into ‘yarn with silk’ I’d have one huge pile and a couple of balls of cotton.\u00a0 So I’m thinking a box per yarn weight\/WPI so when I decide next year to design something in DK or 4ply or cobweb I can just pull out that box for a play and inspiration.<\/p>\n

Does anybody else do this?\u00a0 Have a system for something for years and then suddenly one day realise it’s not working anymore?<\/p>\n

I don’t have a free weekend until October – but watch out for a photo update!<\/p>\n
