Use all the yarn I've bought

Every time I see light ahead and think I might finally complete this goal, I BUY MORE FREAKIN YARN. Bought $124 worth in the sale.

At least I get to enjoy knitting it all up. Some day.

I’ve done it now. Got myself a pt job in a yarn store. With the 20% discount I’m gonna wind up buried in my stash.

I just spent 2 months knitting a sweater in fingering yarn for a guy with a 46 inch chest. It’s wide enough, but too short! Have too add on more ribbing. At least I still have some of that wool left.

I have just finished one huge cone of fingering wool. I knitted a twinset, a shawl and 2 hats. Took me 3 months. See you in 5 years time.

I haven’t worked on this lately as I’ve been doing lots of charity knitting and knitting for other people. Sigh, not only do I sabotage myself by buying more yarn, I keep putting myself at the bottom of the list.

I am down to 15 projects to go, and today I saw some lovely wool, but didn’t buy it.

I got 2 more projects finished, then someone gave me a whole bag filled with laceweight which will keep me busy for months. This was supposed to be about knitting the yarn I’d bought, and I’ve given some of that away and am busy knitting stuff I’ve been given for charity. Perhaps I should change this goal to “use up all my stash,” except I’m beginning to think I never will.

so gave one cone of fingering to a friend in exchange for a lot of vintage patterns, and one cone of laceweight to a frined who’s taking up knitting lace. I knew I wouldn’t enjoy working with either, and there’s no point in going on in dogged determination just because I said I would. The yarn will still get knitted, but not by me.

This was quite a doable goal when I first listed it. Now I’ve been knitting for 18 months, completed 38 projects, and I still have twice as much in my stash as when I began. Still to knit 22 projects. Big ones. In fine yarn. On small needles.

I’m bored with knitting. I keep plodding away, but at the moment I’m only doing 6 rows a day. I’ve only completed one baby jersey in the last month. I may have to put this on the back burner until I get my enthusiasm back. At least I’ve lost interest in buying yar- don’t utter that word in my presence!

- I hope. Haven’t bought any for a month and am making slow progress. Having problems with my shoulder so not doing much knitting at the moment.
