I am starting with my office, (which involves the living room because some pieces of furniture are moving there, and that will require rearranging the living room) and which also requires the sorting of all my yarn. (Well, maybe it doesn't *require* sorting *all* of it, but that's what I plan to do). I took a break to order the this steam mop, which I understand will ruin my hardwood floors, but will work beautifully on my linoleum and tile. So I won't use it on the nicely finished hardwood downstairs, but I will use it on the upstairs floors which were finished with varnish or shellac about 100 years ago, and were under nasty carpet for the last 60 years or so.
I've emptied my (wonderful Dyson) vacuum several times already today, and taken trash out once.
Dealing with the yarn is a multipart project. Right now I'm separating the finished items from the yarn from the giant swatches. I'm actually throwing out a lot, rather than rolling 10-meter lengths of randon yarn into tiny balls because I "might use it sometime."
I have come across about 20 winter caps, lots of single mittens and a half-dozen baby garments. I should note that I've only started in on the yarn in the office, and not the stuff in the living room or upstairs.
I got distracted by trying to find the hack saw I bought a few weeks ago to cut the wire shelving. I want to install the shelving in one of the tall cabinets so that yarn can be more efficiently stored there. Alas I cannot find that damn thing.
