Minnesota Knitters' Guild Cable Gram, Volume 24, Number 1

At the time I am writing this, it is Chinese New Year, and I notice that 2008 is the Year of the Rat. In my knitting year, however, it seems like 2008 is going to be the Year of the Purse.

I try to be an organized knitter. I organize my stash according to its purpose: future projects; leftover yarn from completed projects; yarn that has no real purpose but was on sale (this is mostly Wool-Ease or Red Heart). Each year I make a comprehensive list of projects that I hope to complete based on what is lurking in my stash. I have never gotten close to finishing everything my list, but I feel like I will get more done if I commit some of my projects to paper.
