Spring Organization

Posted in Dying, Knitting, NYC, Subway at 7:00 am by delipics

I have created a Fiber Binder.

I went out and bought a bright, orange binder, plastic page sleeves and business card holder inserts. I finally have in one place all notes on my blog, yarn dying , FTP , Mac / I-Book , Flickr , and all my yarn/fiber/weaving/artists/and other related business cards in one, easy to find section (as opposed to scattered about my desk). I looooove being organized.

Other purchases - but nothing to do with organization:

• Whoop! Yarns to Dye for - Creating Self-Patterning Yarns for Knitting, by Kathleen Taylor - I saw this in the bookstore, started flipping the pages and thought, “Hey, I can do this!”
• The Spring/Summer 2006 issue of Knit Simple - a bit of an impulse buy but looking forward to really checking it out.

And completely unrelated but totally news worthy:

I saw Debbie Stoller - of Stitch ‘n Bitch Fame!

My first celebrity knitter sighting!  She was carrying a Bust bag with her with knitting needles sticking out of it.  We were in a specialty food store in my neighborhood.  My boyfriend wanted me to show her the hat I just knitted him.  I totally chickened out and did not say anything to her.  I am no good when it comes to famous people.  The last famous person I saw was Jacques Pepin on the 6 train going uptown.  I was standing right in front of him, holding on to a pole and I just stared at him.  I should have asked him if he wanted to have lunch with me!
