Stash Knit Down 2009 Results!

I did it! I set out to finish 52 projects in a year, I actually surpassed my own goal! In one year, I knit up 15,888.66 yards of yarn into 57 projects. Wow, that’s pretty amazing! If it weren’t for some miscalculations in my stash, gifts and some necessary purchases, my stash amount would look like it went down over the year. But because I miscalculated and missed several skeins of lace weight, it’s hard to guess really how much I had at the beginning of the year. In any event, I completed 57 projects this year! I still can’t believe. When I undertook this project, I was a little weary of how I would accomplish my goal. But thankfully, I kept up with finishing a project a week, and in most cases, stayed on track.

I knit up quite a few random skeins I had on hand, went through a large chunk of my cotton collection and made a number of baby items. I am very proud of my collection of items. I look forward to my 2010 goal, of which I will discuss later. For now, here’s a review of all of the projects I made in 2009 and a final rundown of yardage totals.
