I want a new project

I want to start a new project! And yet there are so many on the go.

This one …

Sock Progress

And this one …I have to say I’m not feeling the love for this anymore.

Altar Steps Block

 

Not to mention this one …

And the quilt I am making out of the girls’ baby clothes.

I want to start something else. I want to make something with this yarn. Not sure what yet – but I have 12 balls of it, so I should be able to make pretty much anything I want!

Ravelry Yarn Stash

I store my yarn in various different places around the house and I decided it was time to get organised.

I spent a bit of time on the weekend taking photos of my stash and uploading it to Ravelry.

Some of the yarn I had forgotten I had! Like this …

Forgotten Yarn

I have two skeins so I can make socks.

What I think I will find the most useful is the Needle & Hook chart. I am forever buying new needles just in case, but now I shall be able to refer to my Ravelry page and see whether I have the correct needle size already.

Now I just need to do some knitting.

Slow Progress

Sock Progress

So the second sock is progressing. I’ve turned the heel and now have to pick up the edge stitches.

I’ve been reading a book that mentions an over coat made of vicuna. I had never even heard of vicuna! I was intrigued. I thought maybe you could get it as yarn and knit something. Well you can, but  I could only find 25g balls for $310 yes that’s right $310! Plus I could only find brown!

Second Sockitis

Second Sock Progress

Second Sock Progress

I have finished the first sock!

I am slowly making my way through the second sock – there are so many other things I want to be doing.

I have been watching a few DVDs though – while I am making slow progress. I have re-watched the 1995 Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth) and I have just started watching the first season of The Newsroom, I really enjoy it, but does anyone else think they talk super fast?
