I sort of fell off the Blogiverse for a loooonnngg time, but if there’s anyone still out there, hi! Many of you I’ve seen on Ravelry, others I have missed so much!! I hope everyone has been well. The new year has given me a kick in the pants to start blogging again, and there’s lots more creativity going on! Help me start 2010 out right by heading over to my new digs and saying hello at Stitch and Sknitch!

Happy New Year!!

Destash!

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!
