The big difficulty with photographing this is because of the small modules I find myself thinking &#8220;I&#8217;ll just do another square and then I&#8217;ll photograph it&#8221; and then another becomes yet another, and then it is too dark to get a decent picture, and I think I will photograph it in the morning, and then we go round again! I really will try harder from now on.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the knitting I have been making an effort to get a bit more organised. I have built two Ikea bookcases this week, and we have a couple of sets of shelves from B&amp;Q to fix to the wall when we are feeling brave (I&#8217;m not a big fan of the drill, it requires a fair bit of psyching up). I have also got another two plastic storage boxes for the yarn, and am going to get another couple more. I would like to get the yarn into a more coherent organisation within the boxes too, and all this sorting is quite good for being able to get out all the lovely yarn I had completely forgotten I had got and admire it all over again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well I still haven&#8217;t finished my Knitting Olympics project so I am definitely not among the medal winners.
