Peace of Mind Organizing

The Organized Knitting Club

4 February 2008

I don’t think I’ve yet extolled the virtues of Ravelry, the exciting social networking website for knitters and crocheters. The site is amazing—a fabulous resource for finding patterns, seeing what others are knitting, getting technical advice and “meeting” people with similar interests through its various groups. It’s also a great organizing tool, because you can enter your stash, your needles, your works-in-progress, projects you’re planning to knit. Then all that information is at your fingertips. Imagine being at your friendly local yarn store and being able to see whether you already own the size US11 24” circular needles you need for a pattern (assuming they’ll let you use their computer and internet connection, which my friendly LYS, Knitorious, always does).

Now Ravelry has a new way to take you one step closer to a fabulously organized knitting life with a new group called The Organized Knitting Club. It was founded just last week by a generous and organized knitter named Jenean. The minute I learned about it, I joined. And I was delighted to volunteer to be the Organized Stash moderator.

Jenean didn’t stop there. She also created an adjunct group blog called the Organized Knitting Club. Every Tuesday, starting tomorrow, I’ll be posting an entry about organizing your stash. Other moderators will be posting weekly entries on their topics. I’m very excited to be involved!

If you’re a Ravelry member, I urge you to check out the Organized Knitting Club group. If you don’t already belong to Ravelry, you have to put yourself on the waiting list to be invited (it’s currently in beta testing mode). The waiting list is only a couple of weeks long right now. Just go to Ravelry to sign up.

In any case, please do check out the Organized Knitting Club blog!
