Bustalong wrap-up

First the good news: This KAL thing seems to be a good motivator for me. I successfully finished both red baby sweaters by the deadline.

I'm really glad these are done, and I look forward to setting more goals for the next parts of the Bustalong.

Subtractions from stash: 4 balls of pink and purple fun fur, some scraps left over from the baby bolero, and a few yards of scrap sock yarn for the Wee Tiny Sock.

Finished "scheduled projects": One red scarf and 2 Pea Pod sweaters.

Begun projects from stash: One pair of toe-up socks.

Additions to stash:

  • 10 skeins of Noro Lily - my indiscretion.
  • 2 balls of laceweight angora and approx. 10 balls of Rowan Linen Drape, given to me by a friend who didn't want it.
  • 1 skein of Sophie's Toes sock yarn, won in a contest.
  • 1 skein of STR, won in a contest.
  • 2 balls of laceweight, won in a contest.

So you see, my stash has grown, even if you don't count my indiscretion. The sock and laceweight yarn goddesses have been too kind. And the button stash has begun....

I think you are doing quite well on the stash bustalong.

I'm glad you got to see Molly while you were in Davis. I forgot that Knitter's Playground was closed on Sundays. I hope you had a good time despite all the rain!

KALs with a deadline are really HELPFUL in getting projects completed. And if you're busting your stash at the same time, all the better. ;-)
