My so-called stash isn't hideable at present. Perhaps it's the six antique suitcases piled up in my spare room that is the giveaway. In any event, any completed project feels like such a triumph because it feels like I'm getting the stash "under control". Ha. Ha.
I recently completed this cute hate out of Cascade Magnum.
It's a Christmas gift for SO's sister who rescues turtles -- thus, the pin.
One more down. When I look back over the photos of what I completed this year, I do feel that I accomplished a lot, but still there's so much to go...and of course, many beautiful yarns yet to be produced and bought...and then there's the yarn I'm now slowly producing myself. To be a little more specific, so far this year, I've completed 25 items. Not bad and 9 were pairs of socks. My goal was to complete 12 pairs of socks this year and I've got a pair on the needles right now that I'm sure I will finish this year and certain that I will finish another pair before the end of the year as well -- so, that will make 10. So, I will wind up a little short of that goal unless I stop everything else in my life and knit 3.5 pairs of socks in the next three weeks. If I manage to do that, you will have to scrape me up off the floor by the end. I may not even be able to stomach putting a pair of socks on my feet.
One of the people I follow on FB had a goal to knit 12 sweaters in 12 months and is coming pretty close. BUT, she works in a yarn shop. OK, I don't feel like a slacker given that.
