We have been very lucky lately, with a large donation of yarn from Cecilia (Ravelry name: Cecilia1) and the first of the yarn purchased with our grant from the North Epping Bendigo Community Bank. This leads us to an interesting dilemma - despite having many "famines", we now have a "feast", and the dilemma is where do we keep all these goodies? The librarians office is currently bursting at the seams with our rugs for Wrap With Love, our knits for Winter Warm, and our stash of yarn.
I'm constantly amazed at the good humour shown by the library staff in the face of this takeover of their precious office space! One way we can reduce the clutter in the office, is to send our completed wraps off to Wrap with Love as they are finished, rather than holding them until the ABC Knit In at Hornsby Library in August. We all love the feeling of presenting a huge pile of rugs in one hit, but our egos have to take a back seat here, so we had a working bee on Thursday to sew labels on the completed rugs and to photograph them for our scrap book. I'll be posting photos of the completed rugs so that you can see them - in the meantime, this is the pile that have gone off to the warehouse - 27 rugs in all:
We also have two bags of clothes on the way to Winter Warm via Sally. So that frees quite a lot of space for our new goodies. We will spend some time this week sorting out the old stash - there is quite a lot of yarn there that is "desperation yarn" - only used when there is absolutely nothing else, so that can can be stored in someone's garage in strong garbage bags until we are desperate again!
Later this week, we may be able to show you some photos of the beautiful yarn that Cecilia donated.
