A bit more organized now!

If you have listened to even one episode of The Knitmore Girls you know all about #OperationSockDrawer! It's an ongoing contest to make your personal drawer of socks contain a better supply of comfy, cozy, hand-knit socks.  Now, I have some but not many pairs from the typical Raveler's perspective.  Truth be told I wasn't all too sure what I owned.  And a picture of this particular dresser drawer is not something I would publish on Instagram! 

It was probably a normal middle-of-the-night-when-I-should-be-sound-asleep kind of thought. It's after Christmas and they usually have those ornament organizers at all the big box stores! Yup, they work quite nicely for socks!

New Year, New Skill:Project 365

Where have 2 years gone?! A couple moves, new job, Internet provider glitches...and general busy-ness.

However! I am hoping planning to do better this year. The plan, as plans often do, started out very innocently. A few weeks ago Craftsy had one of their marvelous sales and...

• I picked up the Basics of a Digital Photography course.
• I convinced my Dad that it would be safe to lend me his new camera. (!)
• Then, I listened to the last episode of The Dyers Notebook Podcast where Laura talked about participating in Project 365 as a way to focus on improving her photography skills.  

Having accomplished all the above, I ran myself out of excuses. So, this year I hope plan to take pictures as I work through the Craftsy class. Since many of my pictures will most likely be of yarny stuff, this seemed like a good bulletin board to pin the pictures to. I will throw in other treasures along the way. I'm sure there will be plenty of gardening shots with cameos of my chickens, bees and other assorted homesteady stuff as well. 

So, Let 2015 begin!

The story behind the skein:  For Christmas I flew to see my brother near Dallas, TX. He gamely took me to visit the Mad Tosh Crafts store in Ft Worth. Ooooh! So many pretties. I came home with (only) two skeins. This Twist Light will soon become socks. Now to get this beauty logged into my Ravelry stash...
