At a recent Christmas party, I had the great joy of helping a grand niece learn to use her knitting machine. It's an updated version of one I received when I was about her age. Hers has more capabilities than mine did. My only complaint is it came with eyelash yarn. This young lady let me know what I knew but didn't voice. This yarn in not easy for a beginner to learn with. My solution? To give her yarn that I know I won't be using for whatever reason. My problem? I could not find it anywhere. I just knew it was in certain storage containers. It took me three weeks and a nasty bout of stomach flu to find it. It was exactly where I put it. I had consolidated most of my stash in the way that makes sense to me.
Unfortunately the finding of stash coincided with some really cold (definitely Arctic) weather and our heat was lost. The air intake and exhaust were blocked by ice. No way was I going to pack yarn in 30* temps in my basement. Now we have heat back and a new problem. But I can pack the yarn in relative warmth. She will be getting a nice big box of assorted yarns and colors.
My new issue? We had a leak that is threatening our bedroom ceiling. My task is to clean out all the things I can so we can move the furniture out to replace the ceiling. I'm finding projects I forgot about, projects I started and put aside, projects for classes, charity afghans for warm up America.
I decided to make two lists. One of each UFO and who it is for, when it was started, when it is needed by. The other list is who is on the gift list and three ideas for each. Where I can I will be matching up these two lists. So far I have almost twenty UFO s.
I also have an opportunity to put each project in its own bag. This will make it easier to grab something on my way out the door or as I sit down and relax. When the list is finished, I will post it. This might be better for holding me accountable and get things finished.

New Schedules and some time off
In an effort to have sufficient time for everything coming up, one son with his fiance is coming for a visit around Easter. The same son is graduating and getting married in the month for weddings. I also wanted to make sure I had enough classes scheduled for everyone to be happy and get what they need.
Here are my classes thru the end of July. I don't want to think of August or the last third of the year just yet.
Beginner Knit Classes which are held Thursday nights unless otherwise noted are first.

The last thing to note are yarn nights.
Yarn Nights are
times for you to get a question answered about a stitch, yarn or pattern
question that doesn’t require a full class.
You can also sit and stitch with me at this time. Times are 6 – 8:30 pm unless otherwise noted.
