Still can't find the camera.... maybe I should look in some new places because it certainly isn't in any of the usual places!

So I have been thinking about my stash lately. I truly love it but it is a little on the large side and doesn't have room for any new yarns I may find. I have made several pairs of socks this summer and a sweater (photos to follow as soon as I find the camera!) but I think I need to come up with a plan to enjoy more yarn and lighten the stash over the next few months.

I think I will aim to make one sweater, one pair of socks and one other thing (mittens, hat, scarf) every month through the fall and winter. I will also weave at least one project on the loom a month. It is one of those things that when I have it out I can't believe I don't use it all the time but I don't want to get carried away and say I will use it every week. I just won't do it and then I will feel like I am slacking.

The girls go away to camp next week and I will use the week to take care of the huge pile of paperwork and household projects that have been stacking up all summer. That will leave me free to start working on the mitten patterns I have in mind and by the time the kids go back to school in September I can start dyeing yarn and packaging up kits.

Once I hut "publish post" all these resolutions will be out there for everyone to see, including me! Time to finish that sweater on the needles for August....
