Yup! And it's a great self-esteem booster... in a thank-goodness-my-mess-isn't-*that*-bad kinda way. Except, my sewing room always comes close to being *that* bad because that's where all the Christmas wrappin' happens and all the empty shipping boxes end up. The upside is that there's plenty of boxes there for the frap to get packed in.
My crochet kick is officially a phase now and I need to clear some of the quilting mess out to make room for yarn. ;) I picked up a UFO that hasn't been worked on in almost ten years and to my surprise, my tension has eased up markedly in that time - so much so that I had to go down several hook sizes to even come close to the original squares. And even then, the squares are turning out bigger. So I'm torn between tearing out the too-small squares and redoing them to match the newer bigger ones, or trying to make something like a pillow out of them. The pillow plan necessitates buying more yarn - so there's that. ;)
Oh! And I also joined Ravelry.com - it's the myspace/facebook of knitting and crochet. People post their projects and there's all sorts of patterns and forum boards for discussin' yarn and stuff. I spent almost two weeks on the waiting list, but it's been fun so far! I took pics of Big'ol's afghan (the boucle one). They're here and here. The pics don't do the colors justice - it's much more chocolate brown and orange.
Big’ol’s afghan looks very cozy! Nice!
My writing / crocheting room needs another bookshelf or dresser for storage...that’s my problem. So I have bags of loose yarn in there...not to mention all the paper and books and stuff.
Yarn isn’t a tidy thing to store for the most part, ya know?
