Okay, so I said back on the 4th that my goal was to update every week! Obviously I’m not sticking to that goal very well. haha.
So if you take a look to your right, you will see that I’ve updated my “yarn stats.” Lost some oz when I made a washcloth, and gained it back when I put some new yarn into the stash. Of course I bought this new yarn back in November, yet I never showed you all the pictures!
So lets take a look now shall we?
This… is luxe. And it, is beaaaaaaaaautiful. Got this from Unique Sheep which has some stunning stuff. It’s 25% tussah silk/75% Superwash Merino, and the color is Summer Rose. It’s about a sock weight. 100g and 400yds. Of course the skein was marked 10g by accident, hehe, but I knooooooooow it’s not 10g. 😉
And this… is my favorite. I bought this from the 15 step gradience colors. I wanted the 6 skeins for a shawl, but I couldn’t decide on a gradience color, so I went with the 15 step. So I picked 6 colors (#9 through #14) and I loooooooove them. Each skein is 50g and about 184 yds. So of course that was a big chunk added to my stash.
So the bad news, I got a bunch of yarn added to the stash, but the good news is that I started over my stash counts since we have a new year! YAY! I swear, a new year is like cheating. haha. So I started off with a big jump up from last year; however, I am determined to use up yarn this year. I’m currently focusing on two projects. The first is the one I work on all the time when I’m at home, my pink ripple.
Well I have been working away on the ripple. If you remember correctly I started this back in Winter of 2006, and it’s still not progressing very far. But I’m working on it. 😉
Also I found a new knitting group! So I joined them last week and took a pair of socks on that I started about 2 years ago. 😉 Two old WIPs that I’m trying to push out of my stash. *woot*
