First of all, when one thing breaks, everything else goes with it. First, the laptop. Well, next was my car. It overheated on my way to work the other day.
$400 later.... it's fixed.
Then, today I was looking in the knitting basket I have sitting near my bed. Chaos. It's overflowing with leftovers, yarns I started something with yet never finished, and other misc. stuff. Huge mess.
I got out my ziploc baggies, and started organizing. I labeled each bag with the yarn name. I found a few things I plan on giving away to my fiber arts guild.
I feel so much better after this.

How horrible! I hope you weren't trapped any place awful when the car overheated. I had a car battery die (past the point of being able to be jumped) in the parking lot of an auto supply store. Unfortunately the battery was under the wheel well so I still had to get towed so the car could be lifted to get the batter changed. Such a pain! I like your solution to keep track of the leftovers. :-)
I'm glad you were able to get your yarn organized.
Sounds like the silver lining to all the other crazy stuff going on around you.
I wish my yarn was contained in a basket, I have it scattered all over the house.
Oh, I'm sorry about your car! I am glad to hear it's fixed now at least!
I love how organized your yarn looks... I really need to use ziplocs more! I have so many partial balls floating around and it's driving me nuts!
