decidedly NOT tangled...

...mary's stash is definitely an inspiration to those of us with
tangles

says mary from america's knitting:

"I’m the tidy type of knitter, not tangled.  All of my 50 some odd projects are all “on needles” (yep – yikes) and in their respective bags.  All my stash yarn is not listed on Ravelry but nicely tucked away in the ‘yarn pantry’.  More is upstairs in the apartment armoire.  I’ve got all my books in the pantry and the needles are all sized and hanging in the closet with straights looking lovely in two separate fun vases.  All loose patterns are in sleeves and organized in a HUGE pink binder with more patterns in a folder on the computer.  With my mountain of yarn, way too many patterns and books and needles up the wazoo – I think I’d go crazy for sure if it were all tangled.  I did have a panic attack about 5 years ago when I had to move it all – whew glad that’s over."

w o w . . .

inspirational, isn't she?

or do we just hate her?

thanks, mary, for sharing...

ms. tangled anne...

our first "tangled knitter"photo!

anne, who blogs here, sent this....

says anne:

"I try I really do... it just gets away from me every single day!   I have bags and baskets full of balled up and tangled balls and skeins of yarn.  Jars and tins of buttons. Drawers, boxes, jars and rubber bands full of needles. Printed  Patterns are in folders and baskets . Hen scratch notes are in an old blue spiral bound notebook.  Thank heaven for my blog and for ravelry or I really would lose my mind and all reference to my work.

Does it matter?

Not really. I love to knit and I always find my way through my projects.  The only real problem is that sound a needle makes when it drops to the hard wood floor and rolls away under the bookcase.... that....grrrrrrrrrrrrr

:)"

seems we have a truly tangled knitter here...

thanks, anne, for sharing your story!

dear fellow knitter...


perhaps you are a neat and tidy knitter...

perhaps your stash is organized, with everything in it's place...

perhaps each of your projects is contained in a cute little bag...

from jenniegee's etsy shop

and you never get tangled in your yarn...

(i'm jealous, if that's the case...)

or perhaps...

just perhaps...

you are, like me, a tangled knitter...

perhaps your yarn is in twelve different baskets

and in every room in the house

your knitting is always tangled

and you are forever searching

for that size 3 circular...

if so, please consider showing us your tangles...

show us your tangled knitting, your disorganized stash, your incredibly embarrassing scramble of yarn and needles and what-not...
