It was a bountiful Christmas and I was lucky to receive some tools that will help me improve my knitting organization and process this year. I am now the owner of both a yarn ball winder and an umbrella swift. I’ve been winding my yarn in stores after purchase or mostly by hand all these years.

I was so inspired that I decided to go ahead and start my annual stash review and reorganization and have completed it a week early! Part of my newly organized and photographed Ravelry stash is pictured above.

I also received some new blocking mats and a lace blocking kit, as I plan to try my hand at some lace projects to use some of the lace weight yarn in my stash that has been patiently waiting to be made into something.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and a year full of promising knit projects!
