Black Gold | home | Destash!
December 1, 2008
Officially done!
I hope everyone who celebrates had a great Thanksgiving! After a whirlwind weekend of eating and knitting, here is my second NaKniSweMo project completed!
project: Official NaKniSweMo 2008 Sweater
source: available here
yarn: Cascade 220 - 4 hanks
color: Pistachio #8234
needles: #6 & #8 needles
Ravelry page
A very adaptable pattern, it was great to work on a top-down raglan again, so simple to make it as fitted or loose and comfy as you like.
I was so proud to be able to use up some Cascade 220 from the stash for this one too, and only 4 skeins!
Thanks to knitgrrl for a super-fun NaKniSweMo 2008, and all the participants who made some amazing sweaters this year, definitely go check them out!
And speaking of stashes, thanks to the ability of Ravelry to see just how much yarn I’ve got stored in every nook and cranny here, I have realized that my stash has grown to a whopping 205 yarns!! (and that’s not even all the yarn.)
So tomorrow or Wednesday there will be some destashing around here, all kinds of yarns, sock yarns (some hard-to-get), a bit of everything. It will be hard to part with them, but it’s time to face the facts that I will never get to knitting all of it, so they’ll be listed here and on Ravelry too. Maybe my loss will be your gain!

Yah my stash is getting pretty obnoxious too. I just cannot bring myself to destash.
The sweater looks fantastic!

I can’t believe you managed 2 Nakniswemo projects! Wow! This one looks so cozy, and the cable details are just perfect.
Yeah, knowing how much yarn is in my stash is actually a bit scary.

This is so lovely on you! Ravelry is a bad bad bad thing when it comes to having the stash all out in the open.

Cascade 220 never looked so good! Stunning work here. Sweet. Ilove three quarter length sleeves! (you gotta have a knitting machine hidden) You knit so freaking fast:)
