My thoughts are with you in the down sizing.
Two years ago I was forced to move from a three bedroom home, into a retirement village, which is basic two rooms.As I also knit for charity there in lies the problem.
I have about 600 balls of yarn, and I couldnt tell you how much fabric.
My point is if you are crowded with your craft, and dont have room to work, you will become very down hearted, or I did.
Let us know how you go, I wish you all the best.
