About time…
…I finished something. This thing took f-o-r-e-v-e-r. It works well, although it takes more than a day to dry, which is kind of a bummer.

Yarn acquisition
I recently acquired more yarn.
6 balls of Hempathy. Will probably be a Josephine top if I can get gauge… I’m a little worried about that because this yarn seems to be closer to fingering weight than sport weight. Also, I hear that it stretches a lot in the wash. I will knit up a swatch and let you know how it goes.
3 skeins of Euroflax. Not really sure what this will be. Yet.
2 skeins of Maizy. I’ll be making a pair of socks for my husband.
Another skein of sock yarn. I’ll be making more socks.
I’m vowing to NOT, under any circumstances, buy any more yarn for a long, long time. I now have 43 yarns in my Ravelry stash. The total yardage comes to just over TEN MILES of yarn. Holy crap! I think my yarn collection may have gotten a little out of hand. In fact, I’m starting to think this whole knitting thing has gotten out of hand. If you peruse the archives, you’ll notice a definite lack of non-knitting-related posts in the recent past. I have pretty much forsaken all other hobbies and focused exclusively on knitting. I’m hoping to remedy both the out-of-control yarn stash, and the exclusive focus on knitting, in the coming months.
