Stash and UFO and Spin along
I joined Cece and Amanda's Stash and UFO Bust Along - a three month commitment to not buy new yarn (I'm adding fleece to that) and to knit from the stash and/or finish WIPs. And - to flash your stash. I won't flash the whole thing in this post- but here's a start:
There's the shelf o' mostly handspun; a shelf of stuff waiting to be spun; a box of sock yarn; and a box of lace-weight yarn (with some sock and laceweight yarn sitting on top). Upstairs (not yet photographed), there's a wardrobe full of yarn, and a half a closet full of fleece.
Active WIPs include both spinning and knitting. A list of knitting WIPs:
*YarnPlay's Poppy - I am a few inches away from being done with the body, the sleeves are next.
*Clapotis - it is probably halfway done, and it has been in time out for some time. I somehow keep losing a stitch with every repeat...I haven't a clue where, I have counted and written down rows as I progress and it makes no sense. I'm slightly worried that it seems to be growing at an incorrect slant. I should just block it on the needles and see...
*A pair of socks out of Fleece Artist yarn. One toe needs to be knit, and then minimal grafting of both toes.
*A multidirectional scarf out of some funky noro yarn.
*My first lace attempt - a Lilly of the Valley irritating bobbly but pretty thing
*Two sweaters for Terry - I really need to finish at least one of these in the forseeable future
*probably some other stuff that I am forgetting.
But - my first finished thang - 1242 yards of two-ply romney:
That's from a formerly huge bag of over 3.5 pounds of fleece...All done.
What to knit with it is the question!







The romney looks perfect! Can't wait to see what you do with it.
I got distracted from the yarn by all the wonderful knitting books you have. I wanna come browse!

Ooh! The Romney is beautiful! And you are quite inspiring - I've been meaning to document stash for a while now, but this could give me a little more oomph to get that going. :)

Hey - since you're into UFOs, have you seen this Roswell video?

I thought it was fake until I watched Part 2. What do you think?
