#YarnStash

Sounds like you have a new friend group to meet at a coffee shop for some drinks and knitting.

Also, spot on calling it the dragon hoard of yarn. 😆

So I have been adopted into a knitting circle I have never met?? I started knitting a few weeks ago (on my fifth sock now! Socks are fun.) and one of my friends told their mother about it. Their mother knits. Like a lot. And she also hoards, again, a lot. So, two weeks ago, my friend gave me a care package with a project bag, stitch markers and a pair of small ducks to stick on the needles so I don't lose any stitches.

Needlessly said, I was absolutely overjoyed. I made sure my friend would tell their mother how happy I was about this (I mean look at those ducks. LOOK AT THEM), ran around screaming in a circle for about half an hour and expected the whole thing to be over.

I was wrong.

One more important thing: I have met this woman once, and so briefly that I don't remember what she looks like. I have no clue if she remembers what I look like. I don't even remember her name. Anyway, I guess my friend mentioned I was complaining about wool being expensive because I am broke as hell and that does not pair well with hyper fixating on an expensive new hobby. Now their mother listened to that, went to her knitting circle, and discussed me. With all these other old ladies. And they decided to go through their dragon hoards of yarn to decide what they needed and what not, and pooled together to gift it to me.

Whom they have never met before. Because they thought it would make me happy. AND I AM HAPPY. VERY HAPPY. (The only issue is that my friend refuses to give it to me until Tuesday afternoon so I actually study for my biology test which I guess is fair but also uuuggggghhhhhhhhh.)

More importantly, I am just so completely overwhelmed at the thought of these people hearing about me through a silent post game led by my incredibly cagey friend and just deciding to help. They have no clue who I am. They just thought it would make me happy. Holy shit. I need a moment. I am in awe.

Yarn Stash

Reorganizing the fingering weight yarn in my stash to squirrel away recent acquisitions. As one does on a sunny autumn afternoon. It’s a good thing that yarn is squooshy. 😋

In the spirit of using up old yarn, I made my own multicoloured yarn cakes! These are my favourites :D

Well, I finally decided what to do with my 2023 temperature blanket. So along the way, I managed to miss a few days, miscount a few rows, and skip a few stitches. Plus the edging was just, no bueno. So after seeing granny squares in the moss stitch, count me in! So each month will be a square, squares will be boardered and stitched together once all squares have been finished.

I stopped mid April, so between stopping in April and starting over, I’m a little behind 🥲 BUT January is complete! Moving onto February after I finish the project I started tonight. 🧶

Something feels not quite right about this sock and so I keep trying it on. It's fine. I must be in a sweater mood.

Due to reasons, I've had to audit my yarn hoard and ended up having to make an Excel spreadsheet just to keep track of all the different brands, types, colors, and which colors had multiples skeins. This has taken days.

I'm finally done!

I think this is the start of skein 5.

I lost count during my hiatus
