It had to get worse before it got better! 

Do you ever get overwhelmed when organizing?

Girl. You are a champion. Way to take one for the team and be vulnerable! You have such a generous heart, and I love seeing how you connect with others, reaching through the screen to give them permission to be real, too. And congrats on 3K! AND I'm excited to see what you do with that gorgeous Drops yarn! Big hugs, my friend! 💞💕

Shannon, I just love you! Honestly, if I had a daughter (I don't), I'd want her to be like you! You did a GREAT job! As a mom, and fellow crocheter, I'm so proud of you!

Great job. I loved your video. Halfway through, I wanted to give you a hug. You did it. I love that you are sharing nice yarns with the new crocheters. They will enjoy the bright colors. ❤

None of us look stunning while we are cleaning. Don't worry about that. That headband is cute - keep it. I like how you clearly identified the types and colors of yarn that speak to you. I could see right off that you are a neutrals person. I will have to keep this in mind when I finally go through all my yarn. This has been very instructive and inspirational.

Hi Shannon!! I'm glad this ended positively for you! I felt bad for you when you were so overwhelmed. You absolutely did the right thing by taking a break and letting that anxiety abate. You were able to go back at it with a better perspective! It looks great to me and I agree that there is some stuff you have to let go. It is yours to do what you wish and if that means some gets thrown out then so be it! I use my scraps for amigurumi but if I didn't I would toss them! Have a fantastic weekend see you soon!!

Awesome progress! I love your headband.😊😊😊

I'm glad you let us watch. My son helped me organize my yarn in way ive never had it. It's my happiest place on earth 😉

Reorganizing is always, “Yes, let’s do this!” Until you are in the middle and thinking, “What in the heck have I done.” Haha so far what you have shown it’s looking great. And don’t worry I trash projects or yarn as well. I have no problem detaching! I’m telling you, I will convince you some day to start Tunisian😂 It’s not as intimidating as it looks. lol Chicken nuggets and tater tots, can never go wrong. Thanks for sharing Shannon! And I love the sock yarn that you showed that you will be using for a collab. 😍

I'm so glad that you were able to get the organization done. I'm up for the challenge. I know l will feel overwhelmed too, but I will keep it til I feel better about my room. I feel like I just want to close the door and just go crochet.😊 I can't wait til it looks better,and l want to go in there again, and spending time in there too . I know it will take some time for me because of my health situation, but l look forward to the end result.😊

Gotta do whatcha gotta do! This has given me the freedom to toss a wip I’ve had for quite some time. I got the yarn on clearance and I love the yarn and wanted to reuse it once I realized the project was a total fail but I had already woven in ends and I spent HOURS trying to salvage the yarn and had to just put it away. It’s been in a bag for several months and I think instead of investing more time trying to save the yarn I’m just going to throw the thing out. It’s not worth the mental load and frustration.

I organized my yarn recently too! The last couple times that I organized my yarn stash, I also got very overwhelmed after pulling it all out of the closet…there was a mess everywhere. I felt like I wanted to cry lol, but took it one step at a time. So glad you shared this with us! You did a great job at organizing! 🙂

Hi Shannon 🤗 well done! 👏🏻👏🏻 I wanted to get up and organise my yarn room with you! It’s great that you found some treasures amongst your yarn! It’s lovely that you’re donating sooo much yarn! You have a lot of beautiful yarn! Love the O’Go’s! Ps tattatos are yum! 😋🥰🧶🤩

within first 2 min you said the word tetris... brought me back to my childhood... oh this is this video for me :)

I did this a few weeks ago and put up more wire shelves. I still need to organize the lesser used yarn. And I started another Jayda-In-Stitches scrap blanket for a bunch of my scraps. It's a process.. neverending, it seems.. Thanks for sharing your work.

YOU CRUSHED IT!!! I FEEL YOU. For me, we down sized from about 3500 sq ft to about 1800 as empty nesters (4sons)…I was - of course - NOT a crocheter/crafter then, when I had space PLUS a full, wonderful basement…sigh…we built a townhome in our down town/city area and closets are at a premium with a two car garage being the preference. The one guest room we have (where the grandbabies sleep & our youngest stays when he comes to visit from Chicago, and my mom stays during visits) has TOTALLY become “Oma’s yarn room with sharp things we can’t play with”. Lol. Do NOT feel bad, just for the record! Look at me! My words are as chaotic as my yarn!!! Lol. Hugs to you, shannon! ☺️🧶🫶🏻 - Lisa

Thank you for sharing!!!! I need to clean my closet.

Hey if you need to throw things away do it. I've done it myself. It's gotta get done. I'm proud of you

I'm proud of you! I know how hard it is to keep working when you're overwhelmed. You did great!

Haha me watching this while eating chicken fingers and waffle fries… definitely grown up! 😜

PS: if you’d ever like to sell unwanted yarn, I’m VERY interested! But I COMPLETELY agree with you; sometimes it’s just GOT to GO. I hope you do NOT feel bad about that, either! 🧡

Wow! You have some serious, but beautiful yarn! But, it's understandable. You live out in the country. Me, I live really close to craft stores, so it wouldn't make much sense for me to have alot on hand. I wish you well in your reorganization. It's looking good!😊❤

I think I used that same orange yarn in a grey and rust color as a messy bun hats and didn’t use all of it. It was a 6 weight . -125 yds

Looks good! Now come and do mine 🙃

I need to organize my yarn. 😩

Have you looked into vacuum bags? They work great unless you have cats with claws… lol
