No knitting pics, or pics of any kind today, but there will be tomorrow or day after Pinky swear
I have decided to cut down stash by likely more than 50% I am too intrigued with new yarns and patterns to remain true to what was going to be. I have a very small craft group on FB, please feel free to join us at The World of Creative Folk I am just starting to post my stash to be given away on Fridays. All I ask is for the funds to ship. It can get quite costly, lol.
This past Friday I posted sock yarn, primarily Lorna Laces. I was very excited when only 5 of 26, I believe, skeins were unclaimed. 4 of those 5 I may knit into socks. Not sure . My plan was to start a bag of unclaimed to donate to a nursing home.
The last time I sorted and documented my stash I had 2700 skeins. It has increased from there as I sample knit for WEBS and get a gift card for my efforts. I know, what can I do but turn around and buy yarn, right? My new strategy is a loom, a new swift, new winder...not sure. I enjoy the sample knitting as I am a process knitter. I like the activity and process of creating, using yarns I may not have and knitting something I may not have. Then I send it back to them and dont have to put it in the collection of now what do I do with you?
We are still on Pandemic guidelines here, I know it is getting to many folk. I miss my family, terribly, but am grateful for adventures with DH.
I need to go and sew. Finishing up a group of masks and I want to make a jacket this weekend and maybe finish some overdue drapes. Also, I have at least 8 skeins of yarn needing winding immediately. I will show more tomorrow or the nest day.
Stay safe
Peace
