I broke the 30k yardage mark! I now have less than 30,000 yards of yarn in stash! Woohoo! I still have awhile to go. I’m on a mission to use up the random skeins, the crappier yarn, the yarn currently without a purpose. I’d like to get down to more valuable stash that has projects earmarked for it. So when I look at my stash, I’m proud of what’s in it, instead of this random array of bad, confused choices and unspoken intentions.
This, of course, excludes the amigurumi supplies, which are comprised of Caron Simply Soft, in a ton of different colors, and the novelty yarns I use for hair and accessories. I’ll keep those separately because of future amigurumi projects.
At some point, I plan on adding up all of the yarn that qualifies for the “unstashing” and track that. But this will be a 2010 goal instead of a 2009 goal. That’s right, I’ve decided to keep up with my stash knit down plans into the new year. I know that sounds crazy, but I still have a lot of stuff I want to knit up before I call it quits and start buying yarn again.
As for October, I did pretty well, finishing five projects: a pair of socks, a pair of gloves, a pair of legwarmers, and two dishcloth sets (or about 12 dishcloths). Woah! Good work! Now seven more projects left for the year of 2009! I better get cracking!
