And I thought I was the only one who forgot what my fabric was. I have finally learned to at the very least write the count in the selvage or even better, attach a paper with the fabric type, color, count, and intended project. I have a habit of buying fabric for a project, rolling it up and storing it, and then forgetting (1) what project it was for and (2) what it is.MaggieM1750 wrote: This is the first time I have bought items with no specific project in mind. The fabrics are all fat quarters or more. Most 25-28 ct Lugana. I'll be leaving the tags on so that I know what they are.. y'all know how bad I am with that.
(I have the same problem with my crochet projects. I would buy the yarn, store it, and then forget what it was for. I recently donated two big bags of yarn to a local senior apartment complex here because I had no idea what the yarn was for. Now I try to put the afghan instructions in the bag with the yarn. We'll see how that works.)
I'm terrible. Once I figure out what size I need, the details float right out of my head. A lot of the time, I'll scribble measurement notes in the margin of the chart.. as long as I am reading the right scribble, it will tell me what count I went with. I leave the label on as long as I can. But its usually tucked up under my q snap guard, not to be seen until I finish and take it off its frame.
