Handknits

You all made me feel so much better about my mending pile and my poor attention to it. It seems I’m not the only one who no longer even remembered what was in there to be repaired! And it is somehow reassuring that I’m not the only one walking around with staples (or paperclips) in my hems!
As I was organizing my closets (and going through the piles - particularly aforementioned, now infamous mending pile!), I had the pleasure of consolidating my handknits. It was really gratifying to see them all together, reflecting on how much I’ve learned and how many of them actually get worn, so much so that I thought I would share. I’ve always loved those great pictures of folk’s handknit socks in their sock drawers, this is my equivalent I guess!

Do you store your handknits all together, and if so do you have pictures to share? I’d love to see them!
Oh, P.S! Remington just needs blocking and buttons, and the Sari-Scarf is finished for all intents and purposes, but I have a plan to decrease scratchy-ness and shedding - Photos soon!

beautiful — i love your range of greens. i do not yet have a handknit section of the closet — though, come to think of it, i have multiple pairs of completed fingerless mitts in my everyday bag as we speak…!

Wow Mel. Beautiful post. And to me, an inspirational post! Something I needed this morning!

Lovely! I have my scarfs hanging on hooks in the laundry room by the garage door. I liked to look at something pretty in there. But everytime my mom visits there seem to be less scarves hanging there.

Great photo of the hanging scarves. My knitted items aren’t really collected together. This house is so freaking tiny that i have honestly worried about where I will keep handknit sweaters if I ever accumulate a decent amount of them. Currently they live under the bed in a big Rubbermaid container. Not an artistic display…..
