Tuesday - Unpacking the Knitting Boxes

There were only 2 boxes of knitting stuff to unpack. They were large boxes, not much yarn, but there were other things in the boxes also - a swift, knitting needles, crochet hooks, a couple of yarn bowls, patterns, a few magazines, project baskets - you get the idea. Very few books came to the apartment - I was happy to see the ones that made it! (Books are like old friends). Most of the yarn is in 2 large Lantern Moon baskets and doesn't have to go into the writing desk. Thank goodness!

I have an antique Chinese writing desk purchased to hold beads and all things beading. It all fit perfectly and was well organized. That was all packed into boxes and the little antique writing desk was brought to the apartment to hold my knitting stuff - it is also doubling as a TV stand since the apartment is small.

The writing desk is much prettier In person. It has Chinese scenes and decorations on it. I am optimistic, hoping it will hold most everything.

 

Well, maybe not all of it

Maybe some things can go into the closet

Wondering how Bella's Halloween sweater got in the boxes destined for the apartment?

 

Not too bad - I am sure it will get more organized and condensed over time. The necessary items are where I can easily find them.

Basket of yarn in the bedroom on top of the box of knitting stuff that didn't fit in the Chinese cabinet.

Sitting down to work on some little knitted Mary Janes. I looked and looked, even purchasing a few patterns, for a Mary Jane that is truly no seaming. Many were knit in the round but there was always some seaming to finish. I designed a simple one with no seaming! Test knitting and checking over the pattern this evening. I need a pair very soon!
