Thank you all for your comments on Melba’s sweater! She is taking the praise with great composure 😉
I have a FO to show you, just as soon as I get my photographer back. In the meantime, let’s check in on the stash.
Yummy squishy Quince & Co.
As you’ll recall, I ended last year with a lot more yarn than I started with. This year started with an addition: 2,040 yards that I asked for as a gift. It’s already on the needles, getting knitted into a sweater for a certain thin-blooded somebody.
Then I was very good, using up most of my latest additions for Mummy’s cape and the dogzilla sweater. I dug out stash yarn for some knitted gifts, and to knit some patches for an old, worn sweater.
While I still knit more slowly than I’d like, my grand stashbusting total for the year is 2483.3 yards out. Not too shabby!
Except then we went to Lawrence and I visited the Yarn Barn.
Oops.
Erm.
If that’s not laceweight, then you’re still ahead for the year. 😉 (You might still be ahead even if it is laceweight, of course, but not by as much.)
Lol, thank goodness it isn’t! Just some sock yarn. It was the lace weight that did me in last year.
That has to be the prettiest ‘Oops’ I’ve seen in a long time.
Thank you!
