Nope, I haven't forgotten about my pledge to stash down and track it. Unfortunately, even with a 'buy (almost) nothing' pledge, the totals somehow still seem to creep upwards. January looked like this:
- Knitted: 543m/510 g
- Spun up: 695m/200g
- Yarn in: acquired via yarn club (allowed): 400m/100g
- Fibre in: acquired for spinning group project (wildcard): 400g
Net changes, yarn: 552m/110g increase Net changes, fibre: 200g increase Total weight change: 10g increase February was even worse:
- Knitted: 0
- Spun up: 343m/138g
- Yarn in: acquired via yarn club (allowed): 400m/100g
- Fibre in: gift (spun up this month!): 42g
Net changes, yarn: 743m/238g increase Net changes, fibre: break even Total weight change: 142g increase I think the problem is that I just don't have time to knit very much of my stash! I have been knitting, but a lot of it is swatching, or designing, or sample making. There is a difference between 'work' yarn and 'stash' yarn, but only the same amount of knitting time, whatever I do. I love working with my own, hand-dyed yarns, but my stash feels very, very neglected, and I do need new designs, shop samples and FOs to show off at shows. What's a busy knitter to do?!
