One Geek to Stitch Them All

Right under the wire I suppose. A Stash busting update for April.  Four months in and still not the biggest dent, though I wonder how the soon to be almost 4 hour round trip to work will effect that.  Likely on the positive end. I had a 1 1/2 hour commute round trip when I first learned to knit and that is when I made the EPIC Christmas gifts, I’m talking,  Hat, Scarf, and Flip top mittens for way too many people.

Pioneer is kindly kicking my butt which may help explain the increase in cast ons and not so much with the binding off.  Smaller size, the sleeves are perfect, the front works, the back is still too big, growls.  I will just have to deal with it later.  Ah the first sweater.

But on  to the  Tally:

Tally

Skeins Likely to Use: 138
Total Yards: 25, 558

Days without a yarn Purchase in 2o10: 119

Completion

Slow and steady win the race I suppose. And I did just pick up E. Zimmermann’s Knitting Workshop today so I’m a step closer to starting my  Captain America’s Shield Shawl.  Likely, I   shall break my yarn drought with white lace weight yarn to start the shawl.
