On a mizzling Sunday, when the mist was heavy over the Bay, and the light levels were low, I emptied my bedroom chest of drawers and spent 2 hours folding things into neat squares.
I think many of us makers suffer from this and I thank you for your advice. Over the past few months I have sold a lot of my yarn, fabric, needles and project bags. I have also given away almost all my shawl samples to a care home and I must say that it has not only given me a much less cluttered studio but has also freed me mentally.
exactly, that's what I meant about freeing up your bandwidth. We have moved country, twice, and I found it liberating to start almost from scratch with our houses and furniture and kitchen paraphernalia. I took mountains of books, because books are joy. I also took a lot of plants and seeds. I wasn't knitting at the time but was seriously into gardening.

This was beautiful! Loved it!
Thankyou!
Clearing the decks instead of doing the actual thing is a real problem. I often do that too. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights.
Seriously, it is!!!
Well said, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
