Last Year Sheila-mama coined the phrase Lint Project and I took it upon myself to send nice support messages. This year some of the previous ‘linters’ decided to go on a yarn diet/lint again and asked that I send reminders. I am really BAD at sending reminders. PLUS I never purposefully plan on abstaining from yarn purchases. However there is a lint support group which is kinda defunct due to yahoo blips. A new mailing group can be found here tho I strongly recommend going to the first and reading the archives. I am strictly in intervention mode right now. Even tho I am not officially ‘linting’ I am in the cleaning up my yarn room mode. Above you see the least cluttered area. It used to be one of those conference tables[snagged from my darlings workplace when they were moving and refurnishing] overcrowded with yarn and boxes of yarn underneath. I *needed* to have a sense of room and light. In addition to needing room I decided not to purchase any more yarn until I cleared the above area. What do you see?

These are the listed WIPs from last month[some changes of course I finished 3 count em 3 work things since]. The socks on top of doily from last week, the Reef cardigan, the blue shawl, and a basket of yarns not earmarked for anything. Clearing this one little shelf is top priority. Next to it we have:

My drum carder, a felted basket I made filled with yarn, and several projects worth of yarn. I have my work cut out for me. No Yarn for Me til this area is cleared out. Actually I told myself anything I break down and purchase will go onto this longer shelf to be knit up promptly but I can just see myself ignoring all the other yarn in the way cluttered areas of room. And ack Maryland. I can buy yarn and stuff at Maryland but feel free to police my yarn purchases. What? Your concentrating on Me Me Me knitting instead of work? Whatever happened to the Alchemy Yarns Poncho? Its done.
