(Re)Organization
So, the negative about pulling out so many old, favorite knitting books to write reviews about them? My already-overflowing bookcase has started disintegrating into chaos. Because it’s overflowing to begin with, I’ve got horizontal piles of books, and piles of books balanced on the top … not to mention the knitting magazines overflowing their holders. The extra bags of yarn that have been piled there haven’t helped matters, either.
Then, I’d pull books out, and somehow, they would lose their places and there wouldn’t be room to put them back … As I say, chaos.
So–an hour or so of work later, at least I’ve got everything more or less tidy. The yarn is organized and all in the appropriate bins at the top of the closet and, for the moment at least, the books mostly all fit. (Um, we’ll see how long that lasts!)
Also? Today would have been Katy’s birthday. I know, I tell you this every year, but for some reason, I’m really missing her today. Or at least, right NOW. So, here are some (blurry) photos-of-photos of her because, darn it, she was so beautiful….

Katy was a little beauty. We all love her and miss her.

I think it’s great that you remember her on her birthday (and perhaps you do on her last day too). I love the pic of her draped over your arm. Wowsa you have a lot of knitting books! I figured if I stacked all my knit books and all my patterns and knit mags, I’d have a pile maybe 7 feet high… but you have more books! I also spent several hours today organizing (and weeding out) some bookcases… but not the knit ones.

She was pretty!
What is it about bookcases absorbing a book’s space like that?!

Katy was a beauty! There must have been something in the air this weekend. I reorganized patterns andf put them in plastic sleeves and then nice green binders. Yeah!

Ah sweet Katy! I am glad i am no tthe only one that remembers things like that.
yeah on the organization. What if when you pull a book out you stick a piece of paper in the spot you pulled from for a quick reference to re-insert?

Aw! Katy was beautiful.
Good work on the reorg! I get that way about my closet every few months and Goodwill benefits from my “hot burning”.

Oh girl. It’s not about how long they’ve been gone. Once those pups invade your heart, they are there forever. Kitties too.

Aw, Katie’s a cutie. I always remember Sheba’s birthday too.
How bad is it that I immediately enbiggened your bookshelves and started identifying all the books? Nice selection! Very helpful for Knitters Review.
